    About this ebook

    There are roughly 600,000 words in the English language. Most of the ways in which these words can be arranged make absolutely no sense. Try it. Pick a handful of words out of those 600,000 and see how it goes. Here’s a typical result:

    Polyp the translucent aardvark coconut rather bumpy my stump.

    See? Nonsense. And yet, within the pages of this book, you’ll find that, on average, about 75% of what you read makes sense! It’s nothing short of a literary miracle, especially considering the amount of beer involved in writing it. Furthermore, you might actually learn a few things, like:

    1) How to fail at upgrading computers.

    2) How to ride a motorcycle (spoiler: don’t)

    3) How to make French toast (even if you’re not French!)

    4) How to almost cut your hand off with a meat cleaver (being young and stupid helps)

    5) And much, much more!

      Must we always follow reason? Do I need a rational argument for why I should fall in love, cherish my children, enjoy the pleasures of life? Isn’t it sometimes OK to go crazy, to be silly, to stop making sense? If rationality is so great, why do we a
