Every year, readers send in thousands of questions to New
Scientist, the world's best-selling science weekly, in the hope
that the answers to them will be given in the 'Last Word' column -
regularly voted the most popular section of the magazine.Does
Anything Eat Wasps? is a collection of the best that have appeared,
including: Why can't we eat green potatoes? Why do airliners
suddenly plummet? Does a compass work in space? Why do all the
local dogs howl at emergency sirens? How can a tree grow out of a
chimney stack? Why do bruises go through a range of colours? Why is
the sea blue inside caves? Many seemingly simple questions are
actually very complex to answer. And some that seem difficult have
a very simple explanation. New Scientist's 'Last Word' celebrates
all questions - the trivial, the idiosyncratic, the baffling and
the strange. This selection of the best is popular science at its
most entertaining and enlightening.
