Here are some of my favourites from this one:
"There are more than 180 tonnes of rubbish on the Moon." Page 78
"A pluviophile is someone who loves rainy days." Page 71
"Hotmail is so named because it contains the letters HTML: it was originally HoTMaiL." Page 136
"People suffering from plague may not enter a library in the UK." Page 139
"The Queen is a fee-paying member of the Jigsaw Puzzle Library." Page 140
"Dinosaurs were living on Earth before Saturn got its rings." Page 225
"The mysterious green code that begins all the Matrix movies is in fact recipes for sushi." Page 238
"When astronaut Sally ride first went into space in 1983, NASA engineers asked if 100 tampons would be enough to last her a week." Page 254
"A zoilist is someone who gets pleasure from finding fault." Page 365

Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed checking the facts on the QI website by entering the page number and exploring some of the facts further. It's very easy to dip in and out of and made for a pleasant and easy read over the festive season.
This final book in the series is perfect for trivia buffs, inquisitive kids, curious adults and everyone in between.
