Synopsis

Ponder, if you will ...
What is the difference between a kit and a caboodle?
Why don't people get goose bumps on their faces?
Where do houseflies go in the winter?
What causes that ringing sound in your ears?Pop-culture guru David Feldman demystifies these topics and so much more in Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? -- the unchallenged source of answers to civilization's most nagging questions. Part of the Imponderables® series and charmingly illustrated by Kassie Schwan, Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? challenges readers with the knowledge about everyday life that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs just don't have. And think about it, where else are you going to get to the bottom of why hot dogs come ten to a package while hot dog buns come in eights?

Goodreads review by Rosemary on March 02, 2008

This is commode literature at its finest! It's as though the answers to each questions were timed perfectly for a trip to the ol' w.c. Full of all sorts of "I wonder"s, such as, "Why do golfers yell 'fore' when warning of an errant golf shot?", and, "Why do surgeons wear green or blue when operating......more
