Product Details

Product Description

Book Description

If there's one thing human history teaches us, it's this: never underestimate the power of human stupidity. Time and again, the human capacity to do really dumb things is revealed in surprising and sometimes unusually inventive ways, and almost always catches those who do the dumb things by surprise. From vegetable-flavoured Jell-O to land wars during bitterly cold Russian winters, The Book of the Dumb chronicles some of the biggest moments in human folly in every field of human endeavour.


About the Author

Author John Scalzi (a frequent contributor to the Uncle John's Bathroom Reader series) takes the reader through the whole of recorded history, looking for the best examples of the worst ideas, regrettable utterances, and crackpot theories in the fields of arts, science, politics, sports, entertainment, and more. Smart, silly, sarcastic, and surprisingly informative, The Book of the Dumb is an education in foolishness... and a book everyone will come away from feeling just a little bit smarter than when they began.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining Read, Feb 8 2009
By K. Schlaht (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is exactly what the title suggests, a book of stories of dumb things people have done. A great read, you can read as much or as little at a time as you want. Great for people who enjoy laughing at the follies of others!

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh Your Head Off!, Feb 18 2004
By A Customer
If you've ever done anything stupid, take heart...Book of the Dumb will make you feel much better about yourself. Within the pages of this book you'll read true stories that will dumbfound you. Letterman should add Stupid Human Tricks to his show and bring some of these characters on to tell their tales...if they are not too ashamed or embarrassed, but they're probably too dumb to notice that we're laughing at them and not with them.
The book is full of the kinds of stories you read out loud to your family and friends and provides hours of laughter and entertainment. A good gift for someone who is down in the dumps, but be careful about giving it to someone in the hospital, they might bust a gut or their stitches laughing.
