He Answers the Questions Others Wouldn't Dare! Here they are-the basic questions of existence with answers! As editor of two popular books, The Straight Dope and More of the Straight Dope, Ed Zotti has helped the legendary Cecil Adams answer the great riddles of our time. Now, in Know It All!, Ed Zotti draws on his vast storehouse of knowledge to solve the mysteries that keep all of us up at night wondering.... * How do astronauts go to the bathroom in space? * Are cats color blind? * If you didn't close your eyes when you sneezed, would your eyeballs pop out? * When did the twenty-first century begin-at midnight on January 1, 2000, or midnight on January 1, 2001? * If somebody opened the emergency exit on an airplane while it was in the air, would everybody on the plane be sucked out and killed? Since they didn't teach this stuff in school, it's high time you knew the score! With seventy-eight illustrations, some zany experiments to try at home, and Ed Zotti as your postgraduate tutor, you really will know it all!
