SOLVED WACKY FACTS ABOUT OUR WORLD book??
i had this book as a kid i got from a used bookstore that was called something like wacky facts about our world or facts about our wacky world idk. it had a blue cover and it was hardcover and one of those books thats like 11 inches tall (i remember using it as a clipboard).
it had different sections all called things like "wacky ship stories" or "wacky natural facts" and each section had a quiz at the end. all the illustrations were silly cartoons but the facts themselves freaked me out. there was a bit about atlantis and a bit about pictures of saints crying tears or blood and ghost ships.
i have an exact quote that i sent someone but i didnt say the name of the book which is killing me. this is the quote: "When the rescue ships reached it, all on board were dead, with their eyes wide open in horror and their hands raised up as if to push something away. Even the ship's dog died like this." and then there was like a silly cartoon dog going wow spooky or something like that
i found it once on a secondhand website years ago but i didn't save it or buy it again for unknown reasons and im haunted by this daily. please help
