Hi there! My sister loves Dear Dumb Diary and she has a question:

Are the books inspired by your childhood?

Here's a pic of her holding her favorite book

Hi Dan!

First off, your e-mails are splendid and I enjoy them everyday. They are thorough and very interesting, and I often forward them. So naturally, often one of your Now I Knows is posted on /r/todayilearned without linking to your newsletter, instead linking to a Wikipedia article about the topic. Do you mind that? Do you feel that they should at least give you credit?

  1. What is your next step, is Now I Know going to carry on indefinitely? Have you thought about making a documentary/series/blockbuster about cool facts? ;)

  2. You seem to know everything about any topic. Is there any topic you really have no clue about?

  3. (Bonus Fact Question) Since you know everything, do you also know the future? Will 2015 look like it did in Back to the Future?

Hi Dan, thanks for the amazing facts that I read faithfully everyday!

How, and why, did you start this newsletter? Do you have another job?
