After reading this hilarious book, you'll never look at scientists
in the same way again. --Terry Jones, bestselling author and
Python
Delightful... a pleasure to read in the bathroom and in the
bedroom, and the kind of book that makes you seem smarter when you
share it with friends (just make sure you wash your hands first).
--Dan Ariely, author of Predictably Irrational
Marc Abrahams is a perfectly calibrated filtration system into
which all of science is poured and out of which comes pure, giddy
goofball delight. This book is a delicious, addictive treat. --Mary
Roach, author of Stiff and Packing for Mars
Wonderful! The definitive compendium of quirky, jaw-dropping
research --Richard Wiseman, author of:59 seconds
