A humorous collection of hundreds of funny news stories, whacky phenomena, and hilarious blunders and gaffes from around the world, such as: the woman who smuggled 75 live snakes in her bra; the man who held a funeral for his amputated foot; the radioactive cat which got mistaken for a bomb; the human tongue that got served up in a hospital; the X-ray that revealed E.T.'s face in a duck; the youth who woke to find a bullet in his tongue; the tortoise that set a house on fire; and many more.
Delightful book... terribly funny. And so easy to read. It's broken up into several chapters (17 or 18) but each chapter contains several news articles that are all maybe half a page long. It's a great book to read, and it's very easy to pick it up, read a few pages, then put it down again to take care of other responsibilities.
