I picked up this book free after a local booksale, and it is hilarious!"Why the spermophile (a ground squirrel) and the woodchuck...spend the winter in "an extraordinary deep sleep, which in some cases appears to be only slightly removed from death," is a mystery."When discussing tilapia procreation: "Anyone who knows the tendency of the typical male to shun household duties can see in this northing short of a miracle! And all who know the male appetite can see in this a double miracle - for by what natural power was the male tilapia ever persuaded to keep from eating for eleven days?... And so the male Tilapia shouts out to all: I am the way I am because God made me so, and not as the result of mere natural processes - for had it been up to me, I would from the very beginning have gulped those eggs as soon as I got them into my mouth; you know how hungry we male fish get!"Every paragraph is forehead slappingly hilarious.
