Hey, remember the before times before hubski and similar when we bought toilet books for 10min bite-sized reads? The book this comes from I still have yellowing away on my downstairs toilet shelf and was one of my faves. Other than doing i squared equals minus 1 instead of going to the most beautiful equation in mathematics, it is a great book. It sits on my shelf between "How to fossilise your hamster." - A New Scientist compilation - and "100 places you will never visit" by Daniel Smith.
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, News of the Weird, etc. Yeah, that's back when you'd buy a new Guinness Book out of Weekly Reader exactly twice until you realized that you know what? World records don't change that much. Preach. My ODE professor spent like 30 minutes going so nuts while deriving Euler's formula that the professor next door had to come over and tell him to pipe down. I felt like I was staring into The Matrix several years before The Matrix came out. I am buying the shit out of "How to fossilise your hamster" now. That looks like exactly what my going-on-eight-year-old needs.Other than doing i squared equals minus 1 instead of going to the most beautiful equation in mathematics, it is a great book.
