For nine years the popular website Futility Closet has collected
arresting curiosities in history, literature, language, art,
philosophy, and mathematics. This book presents the best of them:
pipe-smoking robots, clairvoyant pennies, zoo jailbreaks, literary
cannibals, corned beef in space, revolving squirrels, disappearing
Scottish lighthouse keepers, reincarnated pussycats, dueling
Churchills, horse spectacles, onrushing molasses, and hundreds
more. Plus the obscure words, odd inventions, puzzles and paradoxes
that have made the website a quirky favorite with millions of
readers -- hundreds of examples of the marvelous, the diverting,
and the strange, now in a portable format to occupy your idle
hours.
