About this ebook

Boost your trivia knowledge with the Edumacation podcast’s co-host and this expedition to the bizarre and extraordinary outskirts of scientific discovery

Class is now in session with Professor Andy McElfresh (not a real professor), science aficionado and co-host of the Edumacation podcast with Kevin Smith. This is the book that gives you a crash course in Cocktail-Party Science, the strange and astonishing scientific facts that you’ll want to share at all your social gatherings.

Chapters explore the Four Chambers of Knowledge—The Sci, The Fi, The Why, and The Bye—and examine such tantalizing topics as:

• Elevator Decapitations and a Deadly Wedgie

• Bigfoot, Mermaids, and the Mongolian Death Worm

• Dolphins Getting High Off Puffer Fish Toxin

• Staggering Feats of Shaolin Monks

• The Pentagon’s Weaponized Heat Ray

• Flying Cars, Real Telepathy, and Other Breakthroughs of Tomorrow and many more!

Open this book and open your mind: You’re about to get Edumacated!

Edumacation is like peeking into Andy’s fact-filled brain–each topic is silo-ed into rough categories packed to the brim with historical and scientific information…He litters the book with his funny banter and crunches large topics into more manageable, bite-sized pieces. Overall, this book reads less like a scientific tome and more like a conversation with your best friend. It’s light, funny and you come out of it feeling good about yourself. You also pick up some neat trivia to share at parties!”—Nerdophiles
