Product Description

For many years the scientific and educational community has wondered and worried about the possibility that someone would find the means to put out a series of reference books, filled with ludicrous misinformation and aimed at children. Well, here it is. No part of your body is as scary and horrifying as your head! This book reveals all the ways in which your head disappoints you. With wit and an irreverent sense of humor comes the second volume in the revolutionary Haggis-On-Whey World of Unbelievable Brilliance books. More than just entertaining and informative, this book will help you appear smarter, more in touch with your sensitive side and whiten your teeth. And it includes much more that will likely sicken you. Illustrations. Hilarious!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A collation of remarkable facts, November 17, 2004
A gorgeously illustrated book. Many pages are suitable for color xeroxing and framing. If you have a stack of old National Geographics or social studies textbooks that you're keeping around for the pictures, this book will make your stack neatly obsolete.

Dr. H.-O.-W. has a breezy, wry writing style that makes the sometimes-startling science within go down very smoothly indeed. Anyone with a head must -- nay, MUST -- read this book, at least parts of it. Highlights include knitting a tongue cozy; aminals of Madagascar; significant stories and charts; games and educational fun; and other highlights.

There is a dangerously widening gulf between those who have read this book and those who haven't, and reading it is the only way to truly know which side you want to be on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, an explanation for the human ear (and more)., November 1, 2004
By Avideyore (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews
Why are ears so freakish and weird, even more alien than the roofs of our mouths or the gnarled depths of our bellybuttons? If you think all that showy cauliflowery serves a purpose, you're wrong. Thanks to the exhaustive research of Dr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey (and her eversmiling sidekick, Benny), we now know who to blame: Fernando de la Mancini-Goldfarb, the infamous procrastinator and inventor who designed the ear in a rush of poor-planning one night in 1911. It all makes sense now, no?

"Your Disgusting Head" is packed with similarly illuminating facts, drawings, and diagrams, each specially designed to edify and entertain -- the perfect panacea for all the gift-buying challenges in your life, from the littlest child to the tallest adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars whoa., December 20, 2004
By jay (seattle) - See all my reviews
i had no idea that my head was so disgusting. after reading this book, i've decided that i'm only keeping my head around until i find a suitable cover for the top of my neck, something not unlike a chimney topper that makes it nearly impossible for squirrels to crawl down and die (the chimney, not my neck).

ten pages into this book, i bought a few as presents. you're welcome, present-recipients. highly recommended and quite enlightening. you'll like.
