Obliviousness is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and its freshness is withered.

This book is a distillation of the attempts of many individuals to understand the world around them, but is mainly indebted to the IQ research team, a group of people with a high rate of curiosity, low boredom and a certain art in the ask difficult questions.

What is the most dangerous animal that has ever lived?

Half of the human beings who have died so far, perhaps 45 billion people, have been killed by female mosquitoes (males only bite plants).

Mosquitoes carry over 100 life-threatening diseases, including malaria, yellow fever, dengue, encephalitis, filariasis and elephantiasis. Even today they kill one person every twelve seconds.

If you think you're too small to count for anything, try sleeping in one closed room with a mosquito.
