An encyclopedia of mind-bogglingly random science facts that will lodge in your brain and refuse to leave.

Heard about the poisonous tree in the Amazon rainforest that grows exploding fruit? Did you know that manatees control their buoyancy with farts? Or that the first vending machine was invented in ancient Egypt?In this compendium of obscure facts readers will be treated to baffling scientific knowledge they would never learn at school. Broken into chapters including engineering, space, and biology, a team of experts has scoured the margins to find the silliest and most pointless science facts that the world has to offer.

Accompanied by hilarious illustrations, kids will meet the ants turned to zombies by a deadly fungus, discover why astronauts left their poo on the Moon, and find out about the rainstorm that lasted a million years (before umbrellas were invented!). They will also learn completely useless information like that all of the hair on your head could hold the weight of two elephants.

(SPOILER: the information in this book isn’t really useless. It will inspire, shock, and amuse the reader–and maybe spark an interest that will last a lifetime. It just won’t help you with any exams!)

Aquaphor Ointment
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
Magic healing ointment prescribed by dermatologists. I used to think it was just fancy Vaseline, but it has Chamomile and other natural nonirritating ingredients that feed the skin. Great product, and worth the extra cost. Especially good for cryogenic liquid nitrogen treatments by dermatology on precancerous lesions aftercare and surgical incisions. Soothing and not irritating. Wonderful product. Nothing like Vaseline.

Professional Grade Results! A Game-Changer for Hard-Working Hands
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube, Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
As a licensed cosmetologist, my hands are constantly exposed to water and chemicals, which usually leads to painfully dry, brittle nails and ragged cuticles. Between my career, gardening, and daily chores like washing dishes, my skin takes a beating. This ointment has been an absolute game-changer. I’ve started a nightly routine: I apply it to my freshly cleaned feet (focusing on my heels and calluses) and put on socks. I then massage the rest into my hands, nails, and cuticles. You get immediate hydration and an instant healthy glow. The results the next morning are incredible—my feet are super soft, and my hands look like life has been breathed back into them. Best of all, a little goes a very, very long way. Even with daily use, this 7 oz tube is going to last a very long time, making it a fantastic value. If you struggle with dry, brittle nails or skin due to heavy water exposure or manual work, believe me—this works and works very well!

Great Multipurpose Ointment & More Hygienic Than Vaseline
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
I love this Aquaphor Healing Ointment because it works for so many different things. I use it on my cracked heels, dry elbows, and chapped lips, and it helps keep my skin moisturized and protected. One of my favorite things about this product is the squeezable tube packaging. Unlike Vaseline jars, I don’t have to keep dipping my fingers into it, which feels much more hygienic and convenient. You also get a pretty generous amount, so the tube lasts a long time. Overall, this has become a staple in my skincare routine, and I would definitely recommend it.

Best For Preventing Scars
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
My dermatologist recommended this cream to me years ago, and it is the only one I have found that actually prevents scarring. It is very thick and has a horrible texture, but it is the best for moisturizing and scar prevention. It is just one of those creams that I think it is only great to use as a nighttime extra moisture cream. Just know that it is very thick and oily, and it does leave a bit of a film.

works quickly
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
This Aquaphor ointment has been the best thing combined with the cotton white gloves for my dry and cracked fingers. In the winter or even when I am in the kitchen a lot and my hands are in the hard AZ water, this is a great treatment to help heal my skin and ease the discomfort. Just after one or two nights of using the two combined, my skin is renewed and healing.
