How Does Aspirin Find a Headache? : An Imponderables' Book
Do snakes sneeze?
Why didn't the three musketeers carry muskets?
What happens to the holes that are punched out of looseleaf paper?
Why don't people smile in old photos?
Pop culture guru David Feldman demystifies these questions and much more in How Does Aspirin Find a Headache? Part of the Imponderables® series -- the unchallenged source of answers to civilization's most perplexing conundrums -- and charmingly illustrated by Kassie Schwan, this book provides you with knowledge about everyday life that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs just don't have. And think about it, where else are you going to find out why glue doesn't get stuck in the bottle?
Maybe a third of the questions are engaging and interesting and the rest are ho-hum. I skimmed some of them.
As evidenced by the fact that I've read most of these, I am thrilled to come across another book of trivia laid out by Feldman. He is always entertaining, even on subjects about which I have no interest.In this book we find out--among many other things--the physiology of sunburns, and suggestions about why women tend to go to the bathroom together in public. I just kept rerunning the Bill Cosby bit while reading that 'chapter.'Can't wait to see if there are still others out there that I haven't
My kids absolutely loved the audio of this. Found on both Overdrive and Hoopla. There is a whole series of these; they're about an hour hour each. (I did not realize it was abridged.) I wish the full-length was available. It would be so perfect for family car trips.
Curious tidbits of information to keep you entertained, recommend to those who are trivia-addicted.
Here's another installment of the "Imponderables™" series, which, the jacket explains, find the answers to the conundrums over which, whether you realize it or not, you have been obsessing since your very beginning. Such as:Why did they sacrifice innocent bunny rabbits to determine if human females were pregnant? The Darwinian biology and physiology of a sunburn and subsequent peeling.Also considered are Reader Responses to "Frustables" posed previously:Why do women have to go to the Ladies'
