Title: The Best, Worst and Most Unusual: Noteworthy Achievements, Events, Feats and Blunders of Every Conceivable Kind by Bruce Felton, Mark Fowler ISBN: 0-88365-861-5 Publisher: Galahad Books Pub. Date: 01 April, 1994 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $9.98 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Weird and Wonderful
Comment: This is a very strange book. Unlike most books, you can feel free to open it anywhere and find something interesting. Felton and Fowler have come up with many odd entries: Worst Senatorial Rationale, Most Unusual Concession to Modesty, Best Cucumbers, etc. You will learn that the world's worst acronym is PUMCODOXPURSACOMLOPOLAR (which stands for Pulse Modulated Coherent Doppler-Effect X-Band Pulse-Repetition Synthetic-Array Pulse Compression Side Lobe Planar Array), and much, much more.
I read the whole thing on a trip to Iceland, and on occasion could not stop laughing (even on the plane). The book's only drawback is that it is actually a compendium of two previous books published a few years ago, so it is not totally up to date with recent world silliness.
Read the book and laugh. You won't be able to stop yourself.

Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Comment: This book is outstanding! When we first receive it as a present my husband and I both sighed inside thinking it was some boring historical work........we were wrong! The authors have done a wonderful job in packing this book with some of the most interesting, amazing and unusual facts you would have a hard time to find elsewhere! Great job!
Some of the facts are down right crazy, some are interesting and some almost unbelievable, but they are all true. They cover many topics such as, The Fine Arts, The Movies, Music, Food, and Life Styles, just to name a few. Here is an example of what you will find between the pages of this book. Did you know that
a 61 year old man donated 189 pints of blood in his life? Unbelievable, but true! How about reading the worse poem ever written? I have to agree it was pretty bad!
All in all this book is a winner! We share many of the tid bits that we are reading with friends and family and have a great time
with the knowledge we have obtained. Well worth your money and your time!

Summary: What?!?!?!? Only 3 reviews?!?!?!?!?
Comment: I received this book as a gift from my aunt just a couple days ago. It was late at night and I was cramming for an exam. I noticed the book's title and discovered that it was a book of unbelievable accomplishments, which I love. I decided to leaf through the book and read just a few anecdotes of these noteworthy accomplishments by both man and nature....
....and I couldn't put it down. It didn't take long for me to push all those history notes clear out of my head. I only intended on reading a few stories and I wound up reading hundreds! They are absolutely hilarious! Like the story of the "best pen":
One day a guy paid $400 for steel-banded tires that were said to be bomb-proof and spike-proof. But later he wound up puncturing them by running over a ball-point pen, and the pen still wrote afterwards!
Are you hungry for more of these stories? Then pick up this book! It's got stories on movies, literature, food, science, technology, nature, psychology--anything you want to know! Just don't buy it if you have a exam coming up. I haven't gotten mine back yet and I don't think I did very well on it.
