About this listen
Dr. Philip C. Plait sets the record straight on many modern hoaxes and myths. Appalled that millions of Americans don't believe in the moon landing, or that an egg stands on its end only on the vernal equinox, Plait hilariously spills the truth and informs us of scientific inaccuracies in our everyday vernacular.

"Plait succeeds brilliantly because his clear and understandable explanations are convincing and honest." (Library Journal)
AND well done! - for using appropriate metric units throughout, as befots a serious science book, and not pandering to American parocnhialm by using ridiculous unscientific Imperial units, long abandoned by the rest of the world.
Brilliant!
