101 Questions About Sex and Sexuality: With Answers for the Curious, Cautious, and Confused Book

A REVIEW, comprising two LISTS (one True and one False), of John Hodgman's More Information than You Require.

List the first:
1. It has nothing but kind things to say about modern-day troubador and Internet sensation Jonathan Coulton.
2. Pages 296-299 are actually made from pressed prosciutto (in hardback; domestic bacon was used for the paperback edition, and the audiobook contains merely a bacon-scented backscratcher).
3. Every copy of said hardback edition comes packaged with a hollowed-out boar's tusk, filled with the bright-red husks of the cochineal beetle, which may be used in lieu of blood for signing official contracts with Satan or his emissaries.
4. Hodgman himself will read it to you happily in its entirety, if you should run across him in your local supermarket or organic electronics store and ask him politely using the secret code word on Page 316.
5. Hodgman's photograph is a hologram, one layer of which contains a steganographic copy of the entire book encoded as a moiré pattern on Hodgman's suit, including the author photograph, one layer of which contains a moiré-encoded copy of the entire book... this recursive encoding causes a warping of space and time that has swallowed up several chain bookstores and at least one independent (but not Powell's).

List the 2nd:
1. It is wildly funny, with at least one chuckle on every page.
2. It uses frequent EMPHASIS in the form of CAPITALIZATION and italics.
3. It is a direct continuation of The Areas of My Expertise, with ongoing pagination and numbering of figures and tables.
4. It has heavily influenced the format of this review.
5. The determination of which list is TRUE and which FALSE has been left as an EXERCISE for the READER.


THAT IS ALL
