Ponder, if you will . . . Is yawning contagious? Do starfish
have faces? Why do they put crinkly paper into pairs of men's
socks? Why is it that cans of Diet Coke float, but cans of regular
Coke don't?
Pop culture guru David Feldman demystifies these questions and
much more in "Why Do Pirates Love Parrots? "
One of the Imponderables(R)--the unchallenged source of answers
to civilization's most perplexing conundrums--and charmingly
illustrated by Kassie Schwan, this book provides you with knowledge
about everyday life that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs
just don't cover. And think about it: Where else are you going to
find out how they get the paper tag into a Hershey's Kiss?
Once upon a time, a young grey Rabbit explored a forgotten WW2
chemical dump. Being young and foolish he drank some sweet tasting
liquid. Very soon he was experiencing growing pains and, by the age
of one, was five feet eight inches high and talking English with a
South London accent. He called himself, rather un-originally, Bunny
Warren and become a bit of a Dick; a sleazy, alcoholic, wise
cracking, Private Eye. This is a report of one of the
investigations of Bunny Warren, the Strange Case of the Missing
Ginger. When a lady goes missing from a premier rate call line,
Bunny and his beautiful assistant Jane, go in search of her. Along
the way, they get drawn into a web of bad guys, fiesty females and
a very odd mad scientist.
