Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Idiot savant of American Public Radio, Dr. Science now commits his particular blend of misinformation--jumbling scientific terminology with arrant nonsense--to the printed page. The good doctor, creation of Coffey and Kessler, ranges all over the landscape here, touching on buying a home, on children and their education, pets, home entertainment, careers and the future of science. Observing that we "lose more heat in a house by building a fire in the fireplace than we gain," Dr. Science suggests building fires in the summer. "It's an extremely efficient means of cooling a home." He further declares that "Spam grows from a spore" and that "Liquid Paper is a fungus." Dr. Science's zany view of everyday matters, sometimes well-targeted and provocative, will be most enjoyed in small bits but is probably best in its original sound bites. Photos.
