Summary: Accurate, informative and hysterically funny
Comment: This book is for the insatiably curious, and it is a joy to read. Not only is it incredibly funny but it's full of accurate scientific information, and provides answers to questions you didn't even realize you had. The author is obviously an incredibly talented writer who is having a good time with the subject matter. A great little book and suprisingly profound!

Rating: 4
Summary: not bad.
Comment: It was nice reading this book. Its more entertaining than filed with knowldege, but you do learn a few things among the jokes. Did you know that a diet coke can will float in water but not a normal coke can?

Rating: 5
Summary: A wonderful book.
Comment: Too bad information wasn't provided to us this way in school: utterly engaging, intelligent, funny, full of wise humor. Reading this is like eating potato chips except that its really good for you which is pretty amazing. Joel is hip and savvy.
