The Truly Useful Book of Useless Information

Here you'll find all the things you didn't think you'd need to know, but really wanted to, like the fact that the average Maltese person eats more than 60 tonnes of food in their lifetime.

And did you know that a Birkirkara-born man became the ruling prince of Moldova? Or that bits of one of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World are now in Malta? And that there's a cemetery for dead ice-creams?

Were you aware that a Christian cult believed the path to salvation was through ignorance? Or that the first heart surgery in Malta was performed in 1918?
