Description
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and Wheel of Fortune contestant Dave Barry exposes the shattering truth. Whether he's splashing with the U.S. sychronized swim team ("Picture a bunch of elegant swans swimming with a flailing sea cow") or reliving the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving ("We've decided to obliterate your culture, but first may we try the stuffing?"), Dave Barry proves that one man can make a difference--by having the guts to answer the questions few people bother to ¸ What makes people want to eat animals they would never consider petting?¸ Where do the World's Three Most Boring People meet?¸ Why is Colorado freezing so many human gonads?¸ And just how does Oprah have the power to turn a 1957 Hotpoint toaster manual into a #1 bestseller?
