Description
Australia's favourite scientist's twenty-sixth book! 'What are the facts? Again and again and again - what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking ...avoid opinion ...facts are your single clue.
Get the facts!' - time Enough for Love, Robert Heinlein Does eating celery make you lighter?
Do you have to be dying to have a near-death experience?
Is a yawn a silent, natural scream for air; and if a little oxygen is good for you is more oxygen better?
Can the humble spud kill? Did Galileo drop his balls from the Leaning tower of Pisa?
Did a NASA computer really prove a miracle in the Bible actually happened?
Is there any substance harder than diamond, and do diamonds really last forever? And exactly how many Eskimo words for 'snow' are there? Wherever he goes, people always ask Dr Karl to explain stuff, and in this his 26th book (26 is the only number directly between a square and a cube), he explains more myths and curly questions.
