Salted Peanuts by E.G. McKenzie
Published by Signet Books 1976

Back in mid 70s my father gifted me with a 79 page booklet called Salted Peanuts. The booklet contained 1800 Facts to ‘Read, Relish, Remember and Repeat’. Facts such as, “When they were first sold to the public, Post Toasties Corn Flakes were called Elijah’s Manna.”

They were so named because like a salted peanut, you cannot stop at one.

In the day I had that book memorized.

This is the spiritual sequel to that book. Strange but true facts.

The goal for this feature is to collect enough facts for an eventual booklet to get Alien Graphics ePublishing going and eventually get the Nitpickers Guides and my novel released to the public.

On average there are about 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body.
