Boost your trivia knowledge with the Edumacationpodcast's co-host and this expedition to the bizarre and extraordinary outskirts of scientific discovery Class is now in session with Professor Andy McElfresh (not a real professor), science aficionado and co-host of the Edumacation podcast with Kevin Smith. This is the book that gives you a crash course in Cocktail-Party Science, the strange and astonishing scientific facts that you'll want to share at all your social gatherings. Chapters explore the Four Chambers of Knowledge-The Sci, The Fi, The Why, and The Bye-and examine such tantalizing topics as:
. Elevator Decapitations and a Deadly Wedgie
. Bigfoot, Mermaids, and the Mongolian Death Worm
. Dolphins Getting High Off Puffer Fish Toxin
. Staggering Feats of Shaolin Monks
. The Pentagon's Weaponized Heat Ray
. Flying Cars, Real Telepathy, and Other Breakthroughs of Tomorrow and many more! Open this book and open your mind: You're about to get Edumacated! " Edumacationis like peeking into Andy's fact-filled brain-each topic is silo-ed into rough categories packed to the brim with historical and scientific information...He litters the book with his funny banter and crunches large topics into more manageable, bite-sized pieces. Overall, this book reads less like a scientific tome and more like a conversation with your best friend. It's light, funny and you come out of it feeling good about yourself. You also pick up some neat trivia to share at parties!"- Nerdophiles
