Boring!!!! (for your friends)

Do Polar Bears Get Lonely?: And 101 Other Intriguing Science Questions

This is a must for the loo!
Open any page and its fun.
The problem is when you meet and greet, the facts are all in your head and you can't wait to share them.

Entertaining and informative

This book is made up from readers' answers to a broad range of questions posed in the New Scientist magazine. In many cases the questions are more intriguing than the answers (which can get fairly scientific) - one example being: if you were to eat your own body, what would be the LEAST nutritious part?! Because the answers are all written by different individuals, they vary in tone from being highly technical to very amusing. But for the most part the answer to the question "Do scientists have a sense of humour" would most definitely be yes.

It's a great book to flick through with no one answer taking more than a couple of minutes to read. I can think of several men who would consider this the perfect book to have sitting by the toilet. I bought this book for a bright eleven year old who thinks it's brilliant. Entertaining and informative.

And do Polar Bears get lonely? Apparently not. Other polar bears represent competition for food and are invading their territory. Mother bears tolerate their own offspring until they are fully grown, but then they are expected to find their own territory.

Great fun for all ages

This book is such fun - it's got silly facts and everyday facts - full of things you never thought you needed to know that suddenly seem indispensable!

great for those who love bizare facts!

great for those who love bizare facts or those who your not really sure what to get for a present! does anything eat wasps is the best in the new scientist series though, but if your getting this for a fact lover then they will probably have that already! a great stocking filler!
my favourite is how long would it take to fill the grand canyon with milk?
about 20,000 years! if you want to know why get the book!
