All in perfectly bad taste Prepare to be amazed, appalled, disgusted, and hugely entertained by this compendium of indelicate oddities. Nothing is too inane, too insane, too bizarre, or too distasteful for this incredible, seemingly impossible, but absolutely true collection of facts from across the ages and around the world. Did you know... ...that Pope Benedict XII was such a hardened boozer that he inspired the expression "drunk as a pope"? (From "10 Historic Drunks") ...that as a special honeymoon treat, Prince Charles read Princess Diana passages from the works of Carl Jung and Laurens van der Post? (From "History's 10 Least Romantic Honeymoons") ...that the best-dressed gentlemen in medieval England exposed their genitals below a short-fitting tunic? (From "History's 10 Greatest Fashion Mistakes") ...that Alfred Hitchcock suffered from ovophobia--fear of eggs? (From "10 Phobias of the Famous") ...that King Louis XIV only took three baths in his lifetime, each of them under protest? (From "10 Great Unwashed") ...that in 1930, Sears customers became enraged when the catalog was first printed on glossy, non-absorbent paper? (From "12 Magical Moments in Toilet Paper History")… (más)

This was a humour filled book but was also really interesting and informative. I even learned stuff about people I thought I know a lot about! I recommend this to anyone interested in history you won't learn in school. ( )

This is a pretty amusing book that you can pick up and read here and there. Lots of trivia and curious pieces of information. A bit gruesome at times, but fun. ( )

Exactly what it says on the tin. A series of fun, quick facts in a list format that range from the morbid to the gluttonous. It is a quick read and doesn't get tedious. ( )

Until I read “5 People Who Died During Sex: and 100 Other Terribly Tasteless Lists” I did not know that Elizabethans relieved toothache by applying sweat from the anus of a cat that had been chased across a ploughed field. Nor did I know that Lorne Greene (the bloke from “Bonanza”) had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator. And similarly I was completely in the dark about the fact that anyone in the ancient civilisation of Manu who farted in front of the monarch would have their anus amputated.

While I was very happy to learn of these vital facts, I couldn’t help but notice this book seemed thrown together, with segments originally from other Shaw books. My Kindle version was also missing some pages, which does tend to annoy somewhat. However, whenever I started to get peeved about issues like this, I read that King Ferdinand I of Naples described his new wife Queen Caroline thus: “She leeps like the dead and sweats like a pig” or that Elijah Upjohn, the man who hanged Ned Kelly, was once arrested for unnatural practices with a chicken, and forgive Shaw for everything.

It started as bathroom reading material, extended into bedside reading while my boyfriend was working with java script, and made it's way onto the sofa as we were all watching Japanese gameshows on G4. All in all, I couldn't put it down. Really fun trivia. ( )
