"Smart, saucy answers...the kind of book you'd buy as a goofy present for your wackiest friend--and then keep." THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER Since 1973, the redoubtable Cecil Adams has collected, corrected, inspected, and dissected thousands of reader's questions, reporting his sagacious findings in the popular weekly column, THE STRAIGHT DOPE. His first book amazed millions. Now he returns with another incomparable compendium of fantastic facts, insouciant information, and delicious data on every subject of import to personkind: Is it true Thanksgiving was invented by the editor of HARPER'S BIZARRE...' Why do your fingers wrinkle in the bathtub...' and hundreds more burning questions explained at last!
