I've known of the great "Paul Mather" for quite some time. I've seen the statues erected in his honour down at the mall, but I never felt I knew "the man" behind "the columns"... that is, until now. This searing forray into the mind of the person Times Magazine called "The Most Angular Mind" of the 21st century is both ludicrous and pheromatic. Bravo professor wackypants! Bravo.

Funny funny funny. I've been reading Paul's weekly atricles for several years now and to have the creme de la creme all in one low priced and attractive compilation is, um, good.I dunno - perhaps my favorite article was one I actually hadn't read before about Canada's governor general award for literature. A close second was the one where his bike got stolen by a high tech crime gang with "elevator stalling ray guns". Or the one about the Celts. Ha! Well, this could go on and on and by the time I'd finished I'd simply have listed most of the articles in his book. Suffice it to say that this is among the funniest stuff I'm ever read!What can I say? Go Paul, go! Keep being funny.

This book is a beautiful combination of humor and insanity. It is like if George Carlin met God. Very funny, and so off the wall you will find yourself naked in an alley on the lower east side. BUY THIS BOOK. I did, and look where it got me.
The perfect humor book for the web challenged

Regardless of whether or not you have ever heard or seen Paul's work, then you should definitely pick this up. If you have already visited his web page (and love it as much as I do) then this is a must have book.
Absolutely fantastic

I've been reading Paul Mather's columns off his Subatomic Humor website for nigh on two years. So when I found out he was publishing a collection, well, I just had to have it. The guy's stuff is weird - but in the funniest way possible. If you get off on riffs on pop culture and jokes that are turned on their head, you'll love this book. Well, what are you waiting for?
