Jennings' book is like a mirror-universe version of John Hodgman's explanatory epics.

Everything your mother told you was wrong. Interesting and funny, just like all of Ken Jenning's books. Recommended.

I could hear the book in Ken's voice thanks to his podcast but this book didn't really keep my interest. A lot of these are things people say but kind of know they are bunk or not. Not totally uninteresting but you have to be in the mood to read it.

Lots to learn here! This is a very distracting Audiobook - I had to keep pausing, rewinding, and repeating because of all of the information I needed to ponder. Good for the car, bad for work lol.

Some interesting facts but the authors weak attempt at humor really irritated me.
