Following the success of my trivia website, RaiseYourBrain, I published several award‑winning compilations of hard‑to‑believe facts that have reached hundreds of thousands of readers. One of the chapters in each trivia book was “Disturbing Facts about Our World”.
In 2020, I filled an entire volume with facts about upsetting crimes and mayhem, combined with unbelievable yet real instances of misfortune and misery. This was a book where grim examples of bigotry and hypocrisy were intertwined with amusing stories of bad luck. Accordingly, I dedicated a whole chapter to COVID-19 trivia alongside other weird medical conditions. The book was received so well that now you hold in your hands the second instalment. I promise, it will shake you to your core!
I am well aware that many readers might be overwhelmed by the condensed negativity, but hey… a fact is a fact! Continue to read if you appreciate trivia like:
- Men google how to enlarge their penis more often than how to make an omelette.
- In Japan, more people died from committing suicide in 2020 and 2021 than from COVID-19.
- In 2004, the Botswana transport minister urged people to commit suicide by hanging and not by throwing themselves in front of a train.
- Cows can sleep standing but only dream when lying on the ground.
- Sick people have a higher probability of dying if they are aware that many people are praying for them.
- The chainsaw was originally introduced to help during childbirth.
- When self-driving cars become mainstream, dead people will occasionally arrive at their destination—those who will have died on their journey.
- If you win the lottery jackpot, you have an increased chance of being murdered by a family member.
- In 2020, an Austrian man was fined for “intentionally farting on a policeman” in Vienna.

Historia
Murder, treachery, and hatred are all too often the reason behind the birth of a dragon. Revenge is almost always the motive. A darkened soul is a necessity, and then a drop of blood becomes the catalyst. There is no cure. There is no going back after the change. There is no undoing the transformation once a dragon gets its revenge. One taste of dragon’s blood, and there is no return. There is no room for regrets. At least that is what the stories say.

Historia
Luke Fischer knows he can’t go home again—unless it’s to follow a hired killer who bumped off his employer’s nephew. Luke’s shady friend and benefactor sends him across two borders to find a man who goes by many names … but mostly Mostly Harold, a lizard-boot-wearing hit man with a fondness for Burt Bacharach, Louis L’Amour, acidic observations and sucker punches. Little does Luke realize that he’s not only chasing the man, he’s chasing the one-woman crime wave who’s mesmerized the man. And soon enough Luke’s also chasing the memory of the woman who once mesmerized him...

Historia
This is no ordinary book club! When the group chooses a book, they are whisked away from reality to find themselves immersed in the story. The characters, the setting, and the murder all come to life. In order to exit the book, they need to solve the mystery and reach “The End.” This time, the club chooses a mystery that takes place in a quaint western town – in the old Wild West. That sounds like fun, until they arrive in the dusty old town in the Arizona desert, among cowboys, horses, and saloons. They discover that the outhouse isn’t the worse thing about this trip. Solving two ...
