This Christmas I received a wonderful reddit gift. After having to brave the bitter Scottish winter weather to retrieve it from the post depot (I think my postman doesn't like me) i finally got it.

What I received was a hardback book titled Inventive Genius (Library of Curious and Unusual Facts)

It details interesting trivia about people such as Leonardo DaVinci, Thomas Edison etc and inventions and things throughout history.

It's a great gift. I don't need to rely on just QI, TIL and Cracked.com for interesting facts to bore people with. (Apparently i do that, according to my girlfriend.) Thank you Santa (AKA dirtyhabit)
