Entertaining comments on 200+ fascinating topics

There are about 235 essay, ranging from one sentence to 3-4 pages on 15 topics, each assigned an icon. There are about 355 uses of the icons in the book, but these categories are not indexed. (I have indexed these and will share with those interested.) Most popular topic Teh Feds (65 mentions), then aliens (40), and so forth to only 11 mentions of magnetism. Surpringly, drugs, computers and the "end of teh world" are amoung the topics mentioend only a dozen times or so. On a critical note, Christians will not like to see The Book of Revelation described as "science fiction." No sources are given for the articles, while a short bibliography is given, but not thematically. The index is very selective. A fun read. Many of the topics deserve a serious follow-up for authentic "inquiring minds."
