Can Cows Walk Down Stairs? - Paul Heiney

Can Cows Walk Down Stairs? - Paul Heiney ... tantalising queries for which you thought you'd never find an answer. It is a book for the naturally curious; it unravels things we take for granted, like, when you boil an egg, why does the yolk stay in the middle? In an age when science reaches new conclusions and makes dramatic discoveries almost weekly, there still remain fundamental, simple and often obvious questions to occupy an interested and curious mind. Such as: why do bums look smaller dressed in black? Or, if you were to write in the dust on the moon, how big would the letters have to be so you could see them from earth without a telescope? In this book, you get the answers to all the questions posed so far. No question, provided there is a proper scientific conclusion, is too ridiculous to appear between the covers. It will satisfy the curious, and amuse the browser.
