DID YOU KNOW THAT CARROTS CAUSE BLINDNESS AND BANANAS ARE
RADIOACTIVE? That too many candlelight dinners can cause cancer?
And not only is bottled water a veri-table petri dish of biohazards
(so is tap water, by the way) but riding a bicycle might destroy
your sex life? In "Encyclopedia Paranoiaca," master satirists Henry
Beard and Christopher Cerf have assembled an authoritative,
disturbingly comprehensive, and utterly debilitating inventory of
things poised to harm, maim, or kill you--all of them based on
actual research about the perils of everyday life. Thoroughly
sourced and conveniently alphabetized for easy reference, this book
just might save your life. (But it probably won't.)
