Do Ants Have Arseholes?: And 101 Other Bloody Ridiculous Questions

by Jon Butler, Bruno Vincent

Description

A hilarious parody of the popular series of New Scientist question and answer books Does Anything Eat Wasps? and Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze? How easy is it to fall off a log? Where is the middle of nowhere? Do we really have no bananas? The readers of Old Git magazine are a batty, befuddled, potty-mouthed bunch, who seem to spend a significant chunk of their spare time corresponding with the publication's popular letters page. Do Ants Have Arseholds? is a very funny, very silly show more collection of questions and answers taken from this column, none of which has any basis whatsoever in fact. A must for all those who relish a heady mixture of shaggy-dog stories, toilet humor, and utter lack of insight. show less

Bought it by mistake - doh! This is NOT part of the series on science questions which includes "how to fossilise your hamster".

A bit of fluff with a couple of decent shaggy dog stories.
