In this disgustingly marvelous world, you will discover facts about
smelly sports, weird world records, rank rodents, vile Victorians,
horrible medicine, gory gastronomy, and more--all of which are connected
in unexpected and hilarious ways!
Did you know that sloths poop only once a week? Or that poop from
crocodiles was sometimes used as makeup in ancient Rome? Or that ancient
Romans sometimes purchased vials of gladiator sweat? Or that apes and
monkeys sweat from their armpits just like humans do? Welcome to Gross
FACTopia!, a wonderland of fantastically foul facts, all of which are
verified by Encyclopaedia Britannica! Every fact in this book is linked
to the next in an ingenious trail of information, where you will slither
from topic to topic in surprising and stomach-churning ways. Sometimes
your path branches, and you can catapult forwards or creep backwards to
a totally different (but still connected) part of the book. Follow your
curiosity (and your nose) through this ridiculously revolting world of
facts!
