Straight Dope by Cecil Adams
Love These Books!
This collection of Adams best newspaper columns answers with erudition
and wit all the weird questions Americans ponder to distraction. Why didnt
the Incas invent the wheel? Is the frequency of bald women on the
increase? And how many square feet of flesh on the human body?
Incredibly sarcastic, knowledgeable and entertaining, The Straight Dope
makes a great bathroom book or gift book or personal treasure.
Personal Review: Straight Dope by Cecil Adams
Cecil Adams started writing his Straight Dope column for the Chicago
Reader alternative newspaper in 1973, answering many serious but
offbeat questions from the public (or teeming millions as he calls them).
This book compiles some of hi s best columns. Offbeat? The first question
asks how deep is whale dung, derived from a common Chicago
expression. Informative? About 4,000 liquid pounds as I recall. Witty?
Just read his answers about animals, humans, society, etc. Reading this
book will treat you to Adam's special wit, and his columns should leave you
smiling, chuckling, and better informed.
