Book Reviews of Duh! The Stupid History Of The Human Race
Book Review: The perfect Christmas gift!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift, this one-size-fits-most book is jam packed with delightful gems of human stupidity. It's an easy read filled with one stupid anecdote after another. Designed to keep you in stitches, while at the same time you struggle to accept how totally absurd humans can be, it more than delivers. (The infamous Florida butterfly ballot is destined for a future edition.) Mr. Fenster's "How to Destupify" section is particularly clever and challenging. Bravo to Mr. Fenster for this amusing and entertaining collection of historical, I mean hysterical, significance. The next time you feel like crying, turn to any page in this book and enjoy a good belly laugh instead. Like most of you, I've engaged in my share of lame, stupid acts. However, buying this book is one of the smartest things I've ever done.
Summary of Duh! The Stupid History Of The Human Race
Never kiss a rattlesnake. Put on the parachute before jumping from the plane. Don't bring your dog along if you're going to rob a bank. These seem like obvious enough strategies but, unfortunately, we seem to be a race of rattlesnake kissers.Duh! The Stupid History of the Human Race is a hilarious collection of the stupid things that people do-even the really smart people. "Part 1: The Stupid Chronicles" details the unbelievably idiotic things people have done, organized by such topics as politics, history, sports, arts, science, and dumb plays in the face of fate. "Part 2: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Stupidity but Were Too Smart to Ask" looks at the track record of human stupidity in all its dumb glory. And "Part 3: How to Destupify" offers tongue-in-cheek advice on how to avoid ending up in a future edition of the book.
