I promise this will be the last book about zombies and horrors for a while, or not. It all depends on whatever catches my eye. Come to think of it, this isn't really a book about zombies per se. You might be a zombie and other bad news is a book with some crazy facts about things that were both surprising and funny.
What is this book about? Well... the editors from cracked.com had some fun finding unusual facts and then presenting them in a humorous fashion. Most stories and statistics are related to the Americans, but there is a lot of other fucked up shit in there to keep you entertained for a day or two. One of my favorite facts is about the concept of "saccadic masking", meaning that during an entire day you are blind for about 40 minutes due to the fact that when you look from one place to the other, you are blind in that fraction of a second. Nifty, huh?
Another weird fact is that Hugo Boss, the fashion designer actually designed the uniforms of the Nazi troops and even IBM provided them with database technology, the Nazis, but maybe Hugo Boss too. Apparently even the internet is bad for your health. Yes, porn is good and fun, but prolonged stay in front of the computer while rubbing your stick or re-posting photos of kittens on your Facebook wall, your natural defense system begins to atrophy. (Kittens are porn for crazy cat ladies, hush).
This book as some very interesting facts about US presidents, disease, Nazis, natural disasters and, yes, zombies too. Fun, and after doing a bit of research on my own, I begin to think that this book is telling the truth. Read it at your own risk, hypochondriacs be warned.
