Pedantic is a great word to sum up this book. It is not humourous. It is like going into a website forum and getting smart answers back from immensely unlike able people. It was swiftly put onto ebay after Christmas. I dont really know who this book is aimed at. I am 27 and even I found it to be incredibly childish and unfunny.

Quite a funny book - although I'm sure that a lot of people will take the answers seriously - check out Wikipedia in the near future to see which articles have been updated.

This is one of the (many) blatant rip-offs of the New Scientist series of books, including Why Dont Penguins Feet Freeze?

Some quite funny questions and answers, although I did find the 'editors' comments a little tedious!

Childish, silly and totally unfunny January 14, 2008

Really, my title above says it all. I bought this as a "stocking filler" for my 24 year-old son, who's got the same crackpot sense of humour as me. Fortunately, I couldn't resist dipping into it first to see what it was like. Having done so, I was too embarassed to give it to him....he'd have thought I'd lost my marbles! So straight to the Oxfam shop for that one...at least it might do some good there.

Great fun and very entertaining, I might just buy a copy of "Old Git" magazine to see what the rest is like. This book is consistently amusing and sporadically brilliant. I highly recommend it as something to while away the long hours spent commuting. Of course, you'll probably finish it before you arrive at your destination as it's very easygoing but it's still worth the cover price. I say buy it and have a laugh.

A riposte to the New Scientist's books could be very funny. This one is occasionally so in the first few pages, but quickly wears thin. The odd surreal fantasy is overwhelmed by lavatorial humour worthy of the the third year. A gloss of latin and greek does nothing to improve the notes passed in class, and little to improve this book. A missed opportunity. Gamma minus.
