Description
The universe is like a really big world filled with really difficult questions and lots of comets. Fake Science 101 is here to tackle those questions that are too tough to really answer. Like why is the sky blue? Where did the dinosaurs go? And what's with Einstein's hair? If you love Fake Science on the World Wide Web, you will love it even more on paper.* This cutting-edge volume shares the freshest discoveries to date made by the Fake Science lab--and completely ignores the sneers from the scientific community over its lack of research. Fake Science 101 is your go-to textbook for when the facts are just too confusing. *Unless you are a tree.

The explosive growth of the site has kept him Twittering, illustrating, and doing Google searches for his own name ever since. He does the graphic design and illustration for his company, Lonely CEO Media. His scientific training includes Physics in the Arts and Zoology 101, for which he attended exactly one lecture and received a solid B.
