    About this series

    Ponder, if you will ...

    Do snakes sneeze?
    Why didn't the three musketeers carry muskets?
    What happens to the holes that are punched out of looseleaf paper?
    Why don't people smile in old photos?

    Pop culture guru David Feldman demystifies these questions and much more in How Does Aspirin Find a Headache? Part of the Imponderables® series -- the unchallenged source of answers to civilization's most perplexing conundrums -- and charmingly illustrated by Kassie Schwan, this book provides you with knowledge about everyday life that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs just don't have. And think about it, where else are you going to find out why glue doesn't get stuck in the bottle?
