The Skeptic's Handbook

Some people are skeptical about religion. Others about politics. And still others about romance. But what about those who sniff out pure BS on just about everything? Now they have the only resource they’ll ever need to guide them through an irreverent look at the “big questions” that have intrigued all of mankind for centuries: thought-provoking inquiries from “What’s the Worst Country in the World?” to “Can I Predict When I Will Die?” and everything in between. The Skeptic’s Handbook pulls no punches, and no topic is off limits. But rather than offend, it simply makes you laugh as you realize that ultimately the dumbest thing we can do is to take life too seriously. Why miss out on the absurdity of it all, when that can be such a big part of the fun? Filled with one-page reflections, each designed to answer a “profound” question (such as “Are There Any Jews in Mongolia?”), this indispensable resource will leave you marveling at the foolish nonsense of a world that somehow manages to function despite the often bizarre machinations of a species known as homo sapiens. Laughter really can sometimes be the best medicine…though a

hard-core skeptic will be quick to point out that medication is just as likely to kill you.
