Description

Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from the shops. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making video games or the annoying idea of building a school?



In the latest laugh-out-loud book from the record-breaking and extremely handsome Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you'll learn about everything ever invented, from the daft to the disgusting to the downright dangerous.


You'll discover all about:

- The queen who pooed on the first ever toilet

- How velcro was invented by a dog

- Why the Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates


As well as 48,762,851,208 other facts. (Approximately.)
