中文简介：

大多数百科全书都很无聊。虽然信息丰富但很乏味，少了很多奇特且精彩的材料。而这本百科全书则相反，剔除了乏味的部分，收录了各种精彩有趣的信息。

这是一个非常丰富有趣的信息集合，包含了用土豚牙齿制作的手镯、热带美洲象鼻虫Zyzzyva，以及马克·吐温对卷心菜的看法等等信息。

英文简介：

Most encyclopaedias are boring. They are so packed with worthy but dull facts that a great deal of weird and wonderful material is squeezed out. The Encyclopaedia of Everything Else takes the opposite approach and leaves out all the dreary stuff you can find elsewhere.

The result is the most fascinating, astonishing, varied and utterly useless collection of information ever assembled and organized between two covers. From aardvark tooth bracelets to the genus of tropical weevils known as Zyzzyva, via Mark Twain's views about cabbages, this is a quarter of a million words of sublime pointlessness.
