Any Body's Guess!: Quirky Quizzes about What Makes You Tick Paperback - 2010

From the publisher

This fun quiz book is part stand-up act and part anatomy lesson, featuring 100 puzzling questions about the human body along with their hilarious and often surprising answers. Part brainy quiz book, part brawny stand-up comedy, and all one hysterical anatomy lesson, Any Body's Guess!: Quirky Quizzes About What Makes You Tick poses 100 questions about this amazing machine, the human body, with its hopelessly lousy operating manual. Combining all the latest research, a collective six months of medical-school studies, and the bedside manners of Jerry Seinfeld, authors Michael J. Rosen, Ben Kassoy, and M. Sweeney Lawless answer such conundrums as: * Can watching cartoons relieve pain? * What career suits short-toed people? * Can a musical instrument prevent snoring? * French people do this 142/hour. The Brits: none. Do what? * Two percent of Germans are mutants. So are 1 percent of Neanderthals. What kind? * A ring finger that's longer than your index finger, means . . . ? Fortified with fascinating facts, quasi-helpful illustrations, and plenty of humor-is-the-best-medicine prose, Any Body's Guess! is just what the doctor ordered--assuming you can read his handwriting.
