Why do Men Have Nipples ?

23.47 in knowledge

Why do we wonder about questions like this?We could chalk it all up to innate human curiosity. Or perhaps it is some natural fascination with minutiae and trivia. Or maybe it is simply mankind's need for bathroom books.

The authors of the book probably have no problem with the latter characterization. In fact, in addressing the burning question of whether sitting on the toilet too long can cause hemorrhoids, they admit they expect the book to be toilet reading. Probably the last thing they expected was that it would be the publishing sensation of the summer.

The tone of the work is exemplified in part by the subtitle: "Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini." The third martini concept somewhat sets the framework for this slim volume of questions and not always directly responsive answers. Each chapter begins as a stage of a cocktail party. As the night progresses, the level of questions tends to become a tad more risqué—up to a point. Not wanting to delay the reader's "prurient" interest too much, the sex questions pop up in chapter 3 and the bathroom questions in chapter 6. In fact, by the end of the party, the questions are rather tame.

Most of it is information someone reasonably familiar with the Internet and search engines could find on their own. Yet this paperback is much more convenient for learning something while in the bathroom than a laptop with wireless access. Just don't sit and read for so long that you get hemorrhoids.
