Product Description

Synopsis

A compendium of odd facts, stories, photographs, and images.


From the Author

Author's Pep Talk
I confess. I wrote the book. I spent two years studying hermaphrodites, eunuchs, women who breast-feed puppies, masturbation accidents, popes who make JFK look faithful, and other important under-studied topics. I am also proud to announce that about a third of the book has something to do with sex. And the other two-thirds packs all kinds of strange stories, from the ugly origins of Great American fortunes to Thomas Edison feuding with George Westinghouse over building the first electric chair.

If you get a chance, check out my web site But be sure to buy the book from Amazon.com.

I hope you enjoy. Don't miss the 200 pictures. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkablely fascinating!!!, 26 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: An Underground Education: The Unauthorized and Outrageous Supplement to Everything You Thought You Knew About Art, Sex, Business, Crime, Science, Medicine, and Other Filds of h (Hardcover)
When I start reading this book, I couldn't stop reading until my eyes turn red and I could feel smoke in my eyes for a couple of days. Now(two weeks after I recieved this book from amazon), I've finally read through this amazing book(hurray!). You can't miss this one, it's one of the best(and the funniest)of its kind!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the time or money, 10 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: An Underground Education: The Unauthorized and Outrageous Supplement to Everything You Thought You Knew About Art, Sex, Business, Crime, Science, Medicine, and Other Filds of h (Hardcover)
This book came highly reccommended and I couldn't wait to get started! I should have gotten a hint of it's shallowness by reading the cover, back and front. If you've got loads of time and have already read all of the millions of great books available then go ahead and read this book, but if you haven't don't waste your time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite a bit of fun, 5 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: An Underground Education: The Unauthorized and Outrageous Supplement to Everything You Thought You Knew About Art, Sex, Business, Crime, Science, Medicine, and Other Filds of h (Hardcover)
An entertaining, if somewhat offbeat read...this is one of those books that makes you lose some of your faith in humanity's humanity, but it also very, very funny...if you like the weird, the bizarre and the sexily strange, you'll like this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was extremely enlightening.
I belive that this is the most honest book worldwide. It displays information that is covered up and lied about at schools nationwide. It is enlightening.
