More than 1300 numerical nuggets of the most astonishing, bizarre,
and quirky numbers, from the number of emails a spammer must send
to get a response, to the number of teeth on a tortoise Numbers are
a common language, as every day people use PIN numbers, figure
costs, study sports scores, maintain speed limits, check bank
balances, play the lottery, and more. This collection reveals
hidden and often astonishing numbers, with entries divided into 14
sections, including science, human body, modern life, business,
nature, military, music, space, and history. Readers will learn the
minimum number of dollars it would be worth Bill Gates' time to
bend down and pick it up--a lot, not surprisingly. They'll also be
well informed about deadly sins, the pounds per square inch at
which champagne is bottled, how many miles of arteries and veins
are in the human body, the staggering number of bottles of wine
that Napoleon's army took to Russia, the number of chopsticks the
Japanese use in a year, and much more.
