This has made me quite annoying to friends and family. I love the explanations to their facts.

I tutor middle-grade kids in English reading, writing, grammar. In a two-hour session, they need a couple of fun breaks. My kids work so-o-o-o hard through the first part of their lessons just so we can open The Box of General Ignorance. They love it! They earn points for work they do, that they can then spend on "prizes" I provide. One boy is saving his points for these cards. "If you can't get another copy, you have to give me yours!" he tells me.
Great product; lots of fun -- for me, too!

Ignorant! That is what these cards may have you feeling like when you start going through them. However, if you're anything like me, you'll tear through these with delight and enjoy reading all of the fun trivial that you may or may not have been aware of, such as the origins of the name America (Trust me, it's not what you may have been taught in school!). These are great to have to just kill some time and read some interesting facts. Lots of fun for trivial buffs and people who just love knowledge for the sake of knowledge.
