    [synopsis] => Boost your trivia knowledge with the Edumacation podcast's co-host and this expedition to the bizarre and extraordinary outskirts of scientific discovery 

Class is now in session with Professor Andy McElfresh (not a real professor), science aficionado and co-host of the Edumacation podcast with Kevin Smith. This is the book that gives you a crash course in Cocktail-Party Science, the strange and astonishing scientific facts that you'll want to share at all your social gatherings. 

Chapters explore the Four Chambers of Knowledge-The Sci, The Fi, The Why, and The Bye-and examine such tantalizing topics as: 
• Elevator Decapitations and a Deadly Wedgie 
• Bigfoot, Mermaids, and the Mongolian Death Worm 
• Dolphins Getting High Off Puffer Fish Toxin 
• Staggering Feats of Shaolin Monks 
• The Pentagon's Weaponized Heat Ray 
• Flying Cars, Real Telepathy, and Other Breakthroughs of Tomorrow and many more! 

Open this book and open your mind: You're about to get Edumacated! 

"Edumacation is like peeking into Andy's fact-filled brain—each topic is silo-ed into rough categories packed to the brim with historical and scientific information...He litters the book with his funny banter and crunches large topics into more manageable, bite-sized pieces. 

Overall, this book reads less like a scientific tome and more like a conversation with your best friend. It's light, funny and you come out of it feeling good about yourself. You also pick up some neat trivia to share at parties!
