How Does Aspirin Find a Headache? Audiobook Summary

Ponder, if you will …

Do snakes sneeze?
Why didn’t the three musketeers carry muskets?
What happens to the holes that are punched out of looseleaf paper?
Why don’t people smile in old photos?

Pop culture guru David Feldman demystifies these questions and much more in How Does Aspirin Find a Headache? Part of the Imponderables(r) series — the unchallenged source of answers to civilization’s most perplexing conundrums — and charmingly illustrated by Kassie Schwan, this book provides you with knowledge about everyday life that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs just don’t have. And think about it, where else are you going to find out why glue doesn’t get stuck in the bottle?

This quirky, fun series helps answer the questions no one seems to know the answers to, but have always wanted to know. Each question and answer only takes only a few minutes to read, so it's perfect bathroom reading or to have handy on your desk when you need a distraction.Charmingly illustrated and written with humor, I recommend all the titles in this series to trivia-buffs, curious people and anyone seeking knowledge you'll never find anywhere else.

Here's another installment of the "Imponderables™" series, which, the jacket explains, find the answers to the conundrums over which, whether you realize it or not, you have been obsessing since your very beginning. Such as:Why did they sacrifice innocent bunny rabbits to determine if human females were pregnant? The Darwinian biology and physiology of a sunburn and subsequent peeling.Also considered are Reader Responses to "Frustables" posed previously:Why do women have to go to the Ladies' Room in a pack instead of singly?What *IS* it with men and the Remote Control?Does anyone really like fruitcake?As with "Do Penquins Have Knees," we are not here tackling "What is the meaning of life?" but the quick questions and answers are entertaining and illuminating. It's fun food for thought and answered my throbbing question: How does aspirin know I took it for a headache and not a stubbed toe? Reviewed by TundraVisio

My kids absolutely loved the audio of this. Found on both Overdrive and Hoopla. There is a whole series of these; they're about an hour hour each. (I did not realize it was abridged.) I wish the full-length was available. It would be so perfect for family car trips.

So apparently you're supposed to stir the liquid that forms atop yogurt BACK into the yogurt for best results and nutrition sake. I've been dumping it out for years. I feel dumb.

It was an interesting book filled with Questions that made me think a little bit about. Their answers were clear for me.
