Product Description

Review

A very funny spoof of pop-science collections (Telegraph )

The finest example of man-friendly Q&A bog books out there (Zoo )

Every year, one funny book seems to stand out from all the others. This year, it's Do Ants Have Arseholes?... a rip-roaring parody... (The Spectator )

The book being touted as this year's can't-miss, downstairs-loo-fixture of a dead-cert publishing-phenomenon-cum-stocking-filler sensation... (The Guardian )

Book Description

A hilarious parody of the popular series of New Scientist question and answer books DOES ANYTHING EAT WASPS? and WHY DON'T PENGUINS' FEET FREEZE?

Great questions, not so sure about the answers... 5 Jan 2008

By G. Meehan

Format:Paperback

Going by the other reviews on here, this book really seems to divide people in a Marmitian kind of way (you either love it or hate it). The concept's great, and the questions are things that we all need to know the answers to. Actually, they're not, but they are funny: Where does my lap go when I stand up? Where is the middle of nowhere? How easy is it to fall off a log? Is there another word for synonym? My housemate claims to be indifferent to Marmite - is he weird? (And based on the answer to that, perhaps I'm weird for not reacting stronger one way or the other to this book?...)

Quite a few of the answers, discussions and "editor's comments" did make me smile, and can be pretty clever in a surreal, not-to-be-taken-in-the-least-bit-seriously way. I can see how some people would really find it funny when others really wouldn't. But personally, ultimately I didn't find the book quite as funny as I thought it had promised. Then again, with a title like that, it did have a lot to live up to...

THEY MUST - BUT DO THEY TALK OUT OF THEM? 15 Nov 2007

By M. Drake

Format:Paperback

This is a totally daft surreally inventive book which moves the total sum of knowledge of the human race forward not one jot and all the better for that! Thoroughly enjoyable - very funny - buy one and give the other away free to a particularly stodgy relative!

Mick Drake- author of the comic novel All`s Well at Wellwithoute

I must have missed something...but this didnt miss the bin. 11 Aug 2008

By P. Davies

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I knew within a few pages this was not for me. I am quite a juvenile 36 year old but this was far too juvenile for me, (taking in mind I have a wife and 2 kids - so not 'that' juvenile). It was just not funny and was just stupid. Think of a question, let some chimps type, some completely random answers and publish it. I dont usually throw books away - but within two weeks this was nestled gently at the bottom of the recycling bin, probably the best decision I made, and being safely aware that this copy could no longer inflict itself on anyone else. Dont get me wrong I have a good sense of humour - but this stuff is just unfunny crap.

Some people may find it funny, but hey 'Last of the Summer Wine' lasted for years so there is no accounting for taste - this book made me smile less (and I despise Last Of The Summer Wine).

I would like to think that (if it is ever re-printed), the last question being "How do you feel now sucker, after parting with your hard earned cash for this dirge?". The title of the book is quite funny, hence 1 star.

PS I have an idea, I should give this book 5 stars, that is far more hilarious than anything between its pages.

Disappointing and misleading

I thought that this book would be along the lines of the excellent 'What eats wasps?' and 'Why don't a penguin's feet freeze?' books. Boy was I wrong. Read more

Greatest questions ever asked

There is no scientific explainations used in this book, nor are any of the questions answered truthfully. It is without a doubt just a relaxing book to read and have a laugh at. Read more

Very funny!

It's quite scary to see that some people have taken this book seriously. Maybe it is a symptom of the world today but it's good to know that the rest of us have a sense of humour!
