Weird But True! 3 Quiz

Answer 30 trivia questioned based on facts from National Geographic's 'Weird But True! 3' book.
Keep in mind that this book was published in 2011.
As you may have noticed, I've switched to multiple choice quizzes for this series. I figured that this format would be more effective for these quizzes, and will therefore all be multiple choice moving forward.
