4.0 out of 5 stars 239 "why's" answered, 2 Oct 2005

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? and Other Imponderables (Hardcover)

This book is a lot of fun and it is possible to actually have some thing in it tat you did not know. However the statements or answers are limited in scope requiring you to do further research to flesh out the answer. The answers are given by contributors, not Davis Feldman. So we must rely of the credibility of the contributor. Again because of the limited answer the contributor does not feel compelled to back you the reason for the statement.

How ever for a quickie answer to questions you might not have asked such as "Why does Coca-Cola from a small bottle taste better than Coca-Cola from a large bottle or can?" this book is fun.

A more appropriate question "When did Coca-Cola substitute corn syrup for

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book to read a bit at a time., 29 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise?: And Other Imponderables (Paperback)

This is a great book to have. Beyond simply answering some of those nagging questions of life, there is some great trivia in here to impress (or annoy) your friends and family. And as the answer to each imponderable runs from a paragraph to a few pages, it's perfect for when you have limited time. In short, it's excellent bathroom reading for aspiring Cliff Clavens.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for a group of intelligent people, 11 Aug 1999

By A Customer

The quiz format was a blast as my enitre family of brilliant minds listened and answered. We enjoyed the questions, the challenge and the game! Much more interesting than the book version simply because it could be shared. For those of us who love trivial information and think there is little as fun as learning new things (and laughing at what we thought we knew but didn't), it is a blast. It wasn't meant for non-thinkers or impatient people (or the kind that look at the answers to their crossword puzzel!).

This book on tape has so little actual content that they had to invent a parlor game (a weak one at that) to fill out enough tape to keep the cassette from floating away. Read more
