If you have, then you know that in just about every aspect of human life-science, history, the art, etc.-there are plenty of absurd and crazy facts that often defy explanation. And even the absurdities that have an explanation often leave you scratching your head. In Absurdly Strange But True, we take a look at some of the most absurd incidents, people, places, and things the world has ever known. You’ll learn why hyenas laugh, what 'fart proof underwear' are and what are Nazo UFOs?.

This book is divided into six chapters by absurd topics-history, pop culture and sports, science, literature and art, geography, and the unexplained-with eight stories in each chapter. There is also a 'Strange but True' section at the end of each chapter where ten additional absurd facts about the topic are discussed.
