Why Don't Cats Like to Swim ?

Why does an "X" stand for a kiss? Which fruits are in Juicy Fruitr gum? Why do people cry at happy endings? Why do you never see baby pigeons? Pop-culture guru David Feldman demystifies these topics and so much more in Why Don''t Cats Like to Swim? -- the unchallenged source of answers to civilization''s most perplexing questions. Part of the Imponderablesr series, Feldman''s book arms readers with information about everyday life -- from science, history, and politics to sports, television, and radio -- that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs just don''t have. Where else will you learn what makes women open their mouths when applying mascara?
