I was e-mail chatting with Tiffany Stone about her new book Rainbow Shoes (which features an invisible zipper and polka-dotted skin and sounds seriously fun), when she sent this note:

Hey, last night I used your Poisonous Questions book to prove to my husband that there was a factual error in the new James Bond movie. Yes, the komodo dragon in the pit in the bad guy’s casino could have bitten the bodyguard who was fighting James Bond but it probably would have waited for its poisonous saliva to do its trick over the next couple of days rather than dragging off the bodyguard to eat then and there. Thanks for making me look smart!

So, as you can see, it’s always good to have a 50 Questions book on hand. You never know when you might need seemingly-useless trivia.
