When it comes to Exclusive Books, I go straight to the Fantasy section to see if there's that one darn Terry Pratchett I'm missing, then to Fiction for any of the Dean Koontz books I still don't have and then I end up in their tiny little humour section. We've managed to find a couple of damn good pointless toilet reading books in this section, because, sometimes you actually just need a good book or magazine in the toilet.

One of the winners is "What's what, the encyclopedia of pointless information", it's amazing the crap I have learnt but didn't need to know from it. In the spirit of this, welcome to my day of pointless information!

- The first elastic bands were patented by Stephen Perry & Co. of London on 17 March 1845

- According to the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius, a centaur is impossible since horse and man live to different ages, so one half would be dead when the other was still in its prime.

- Between 1520 and 1630, some 30,000 people were reported to the French authorities for being werewolves.

- According to NASA, the items most missed by astronauts on space missions are pizza, ice cream and fizzy drinks.

and then

- The average size of an erect penis is only 5in (12.8cm), which is significantly smaller than most men believe.
An Italian study in 2002 discovered that, of 67 men seeking enlargement operations, all had penises well within the normal size range.
The most common causes of injury to the penis are ritual circumcision, animal attacks, bicycle accidents (another reason not to be a wanker cyclist) and zipper injuries.

And if you go to www.phallus.is you can view the website of the world's only museum of penises. I shit you not, someone in Iceland opened up a Phallological Museum.

After giving people a link to a penis museum there really isn't anything left to say.
