I wanted more quick facts then a long story about each one.  iayork | Aug 9, 2009 |  If you haven't encountered Adam's answers to all the questions in the world, hit the Web right now! librisissimo | Jun 3, 2009 | The pot of gold for "Cliff Claven" types with a sense of humour. Love it! (  ) dilldill | Oct 17, 2008 | cecil adams is the man! he knows everything, and he's not afraid to mock those who doubt him. he used to have a column back in the day, where people send him questions and he comes up with the answer. now he's got his own website, but the man is a genius. ( ) badrabbyt | Nov 15, 2007 | Cecil Adams is hilarious, rude, and incredibly smart. Honestly, I think "he" might not really be just one person...but whoever writes the Straight Dope column is great. I bought a bunch of these books just for the giggles...and the information! ( ) TheScrappyCat | Sep 19, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0345333152, Mass Market Paperback)This collection of Adams' best newspaper columns answers with erudition and wit all the weird questions Americans ponder to distraction. Why didn't the Incas invent the wheel? Is the frequency of bald women on the increase? And how many square feet of flesh on the human body? Incredibly sarcastic, knowledgeable and entertaining, The Straight Dope makes a great bathroom book or gift book or personal treasure.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:02 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
