A Fun Book

This book is full of fun science. This book answers many burning questions (pun intended). I now know why dog farts are silent but deadly. I also know why they put nitrogen in car tires. Perfect for knowledge seekers everywhere. I highly recommend this to anybody with a thirst for science and a sense of humor.

My husband LOVED this book

Here's the disclaimer...I'm a woman. I got a review copy of this book and wasn't that impressed. I put it down on the nightstand and my husband found it. Let me tell you something... my husband LOVED this book. If your husband loves SPIKE TV, fireworks, Mythbusters, and explosions and all the crazy stuff like that, he will love this book. The book actually talks about whether or not a man can get an erection after death (the answer is a surprising: YES-- gross). How to make a lighter explode, how to open a door with a credit card, and tells you why some men don't like cats. Men eat this stuff up, apparently. And of course, it talks about all the strange and wonderful things you can do with farts. Not a great reading choice for a woman, I guess, but a five-star choice for any guy.

A perfect gift for the person who has everything!!!

Are you still looking for that perfect for your husband? This is the book to give to the man that has everything. I have never laughed so hard in my life! I was so caught up in this book that my husband had to give me the evil eye in bed because he was trying to sleep and I was laughing out loud! The topics included in this book are hilarious. Here is a small sample of questions you will find the answer to: What makes a fart smell? Why do dog's fart quietly? How do you hot-wire a car? Can you outrun an alligator? Why do men think about sex all the time? This is just a teaser at what kind of questions you can expect to have answered all from a scientific-but funny-point of view. The author has the most outstanding and hilarious responses to these questions. Trust me, if you have any type of funny bone, this is the perfect book even for women to read. Heck I even tried out half the things in the book to see if they actually work! I can now open my doors with a credit card, do the money trick with laughs, and make a card float below an upside down full shot glass! You will also learn how to do all these tricks including picking a lock!
