The 90-second pseudointellectual Q&A series heard daily on public radio stations nationwide, Ask Dr. Science has amazed, enraged, and humorously enlightened legions of listeners since its inception in 1984. Now Dr. Science focuses his nonsensical energies on the home. 10 photos.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Idiot savant of American Public Radio, Dr. Science now commits his particular blend of misinformation--jumbling scientific terminology with arrant nonsense--to the printed page. The good doctor, creation of Coffey and Kessler, ranges all over the landscape here, touching on buying a home, on children and their education, pets, home entertainment, careers and the future of science. Observing that we "lose more heat in a house by building a fire in the fireplace than we gain," Dr. Science suggests building fires in the summer. "It's an extremely efficient means of cooling a home." He further declares that "Spam grows from a spore" and that "Liquid Paper is a fungus." Dr. Science's zany view of everyday matters, sometimes well-targeted and provocative, will be most enjoyed in small bits but is probably best in its original sound bites. Photos.
