Once again Doug Lennox, the toastmaster of trivia, serves up a
mammoth selection of some of his most cherished Q&As culled
from his previous books. Also featured in this wide-ranging
compendium are 150 brand-new questions answered with Doug's
inimitable flair for unearthing intriguing arcana on everything
from animals and the arts to superstitions and show business.
Customs, conventions, expressions, everyday words, rituals, and
traditions -- Doug has dug deep to deliver the goods on a vast
array of perplexing subjects. Why is a warm autumn called "Indian
summer"? What is the origin of "nicknames"? Why is a decorated
parade vehicle called a "float"? Why is the rubber around a car
wheel called a "tire"? Why are sailors known as "tars"? Why is a
bad dream called a "nightmare"? Why are published periodicals
called "magazines"?
