Описание: The World's Most Pointless Animals is a witty, quirky, colorfully-illustrated book featuring fascinating facts about some very silly animals...who we find are perhaps not so pointless after all. From familiar animals like giraffes (who don't have any vocal chords) through to those that surely should not even exist, such as the pink fairy armadillo (absurdly huge front claws, super tough protective shell in baby pink, particularly susceptible to stress), our planet is full of some pretty weird and wonderful animals. For example:
Koalas spend up to 18 hours a day asleep
Pandas are born bright pink, deaf, and blind.
Dumbo octopuses flap their big fin-like ears to move around.
A Narwhal's tusk grows through its upper lip--ouch
With hilarious text throughout and bright, contemporary illustrations, this guide to absurdly awesome animals contains funny labelled diagrams and some excellent made-up Latin names (n.b. the jellyfish's scientific name is not actually wibblious wobblious ouchii). Carrying an important message of celebrating diversity and differences, The World's Most Pointless Animals inspires a drive to conserve our amazing planet and the creatures we're lucky enough to share it with.

It's time to nail your colours to the mast (or tie them? ...latch them on? ...whatever) as two juggernauts of masculinity go head to head in a battle to find the ultimate male role model.

A tough dilemma, so read the in-depth discussion, including:
Herculean muscle-pumps
David and the Goliath...the truth is told
Witty one liners from biblical characters.
How does a genie have sex?
Pointless Conversations: Armageddon
Time for Armageddon ...the film with Bruce Willis, not the cataclysmic event... anyway, on the docket are:
Why a dirty bum is a small price to pay for financial security.
If the Flake is a chocolate bar for women, what's the male equivalent?
Why does confectionery go out of date on a Saturday?
Drilling a hole and dropping some nukes? Really?

Here's a packed conversation with more subjects, topics, boar-munching and off-kilter ramblings than could be possible listed ...although I'm about to do that right now...
If you chopped off his head and then threw him is a blender, would Toy Story's Woody, die?
Forget Captain American, here's Captain Jesus
Who wins: Jesus or Chuck Norris?
Talk of X-Men, then a final Asterix-style banquet, complete with boar
This book contains plenty of (allegedly) mature and (definitely) offensive content, so please do not purchase a copy if you are offended by... ummm... anything, to be fair.

Описание: An illuminating, entertaining tour of the physical imperfections that make us human
We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution's greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so often--two hundred times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? Why is the vast majority of our genetic code pointless? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there's been some kind of mistake.
As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is nothing if not a litany of mistakes, each more entertaining and enlightening than the last. The human body is one big pile of compromises. But that is also a testament to our greatness: as Lents shows, humans have so many design flaws precisely because we are very, very good at getting around them.
A rollicking, deeply informative tour of humans' four billion year long evolutionary saga, Human Errors both celebrates our imperfections and offers an unconventional accounting of the cost of our success.

Описание: This fun guide reinvents yoga for modern life--presenting poses for anyone who spends way too much time waiting Often times we get bored or frustrated or even angry when we find ourselves waiting. But what we should do instead is recognize that waiting is a gift. Be glad when you're stuck in traffic or put on hold. Be grateful when the waiting room is full. Be happy when you miss your flight. Give thanks to the date that never shows up on time. Why? Because now you can turn mindless waiting into moments of mindfulness and build up your strength, poise, and flexibility. You don't need a studio or a yoga mat or fancy yoga pants to practice yoga. All you need is normal, everyday life and a little bad timing. After a while, you'll develop an amazing attitude both inside and out Paired with Markus Abele's photography, these 30+ yoga poses will give you something to do with all that extra time spent waiting around. Yoga While You Wait has the ideal pose for every pointless pause--and for every body and level of flexibility. From ardha chandrasana at the traffic lights to simhasana in a traffic jam, this book introduces you to yoga--in real life situations. Judith aligns helpful tips and humorous advice with precise instructions. You might even find yourself looking forward to the wait

In yet another absolutely pointless conversation, it's offbeat film references aplenty, with Robin Hood, The Expendables, and some surreal cake talk (that's not just any cake talk... SURREAL CAKE TALK Yeah ). In store for you this time are:
Loud explosions and incoherent old men... a better title for The Expendables?
Was the King of England a lion?
Maid Marion a child killer? ...Yes
What would an Orlando Bloom cake taste like?
Pointless Conversations: The Fifth Element
In this fifth issue of the comic series all about the pointless, the film and cartoon related topics for (not very) serious discussion are Batman button mashing, the Queen atop a robotic polar bear, and of course the insanity which is The Fifth Element.
Batman button mashing... does every switch in the Batmobile do the same thing?
Captain Planet gets taken down a peg
The Queen on the back of a robotic polar bear?
Would Bruce Willis spit in Leeloo's face?
Pointless Conversations: The Big One
It's the question that has dogged scholars for a millennia.... what actually happens when you take a poo on the Star TrekEnterprise's holodeck? In the sixth issue of the comic series all about the pointless, it the one that got everyone talking - the Star Trek special
Why is there a 'P' in pterodactyl?
Who cleans the holodeck once you're finished?
If you eat holo-food, would you do a holo-poo?
Would you drink Odo?
With a significant amount of offensive content, this collection is not suitable for... anyone.
In this anecdotal memoir an unknown narrator combines philosophical musings with dark humor to alleviate his reoccurring existential crises and mundane day-to-day missteps. To retain his sanity the narrator reflects on parables and absurd punch lines. Our narrator is consumed by doomed relationships, painful nostalgia, a vicious cycle of poverty, incompetent superiors, and ridiculous decrees from a Dictator-President with a violent police force. These situations are so hopeless they can turn humorous, and therefore, undermine the power that crippling depression, anxiety, and obsession can wreak on an individual living in "modernity." In the end, the reader is left with more questions than answers: "Are these intellectually rigorous musings the signs of mental illness, or an elaborate trick at our expense?" and "Who has a skewed perception of reality: the narrator, his society, or our own selves?"
