Book Description

October 1, 2000 Curiosities Series
With Wisconsin Curiosities, popular public radio show host Michael Feldman brings his "deliciously sarcastic" perspective to the subject of his home state. Together with co-author Diana Cook, he's combed Wisconsin for more than 125 of the weirdest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Badger State has to offer.

You'll meet a man who owes his life to a foam rubber cheesehead, a worm that plays basketball, and a family of champion stiltwalkers. You'll discover the best places to savor chicken in a hubcap, whitefish livers, and that notoriously odorous limburger cheese. You'll visit far away places such as the Taj Mahal, Mount Rushmore, Chartres Cathedral, and even Stonehenge - and you'll be home in time for dinner!

4.0 out of 5 stars Michael Feldman, October 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Wisconsin Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff (Paperback)
Always treating his subject with humor and a bit of disrespect, Feldman tackles trivia and oddities found on the roadsides of Wisconsin. An excellent book to keep in the glove box when you're traveling around the state, or to keep in the house for fun reading any time.
