    The Book of Questionable Answers

    About this ebook

    The author is the World's Leading Authority on questionable answers. In this, the first volume of several, he parodies every snooty authoritative reference you've ever come across. It's sort of an encyclopedia for those untroubled with fact, written for readers who find reality boring and would rather laugh at the world than take it seriously. With footnotes, even.
