Have you ever sat down and thought about how absurd and strange some of the things in our world are? If you have, then you know that in just about every aspect of human life-science, history, the art, etc.-there are plenty of absurd and crazy facts that often defy explanation. And even the absurdities that have an explanation often leave you scratching your head. In Absurdly Strange But True, we take a look at some of the most absurd incidents, people, places, and things the world has ever known. You'll learn why hyenas laugh, what "fart proof underwear" are and what are Nazo UFOs?. Some other absurdities you'll learn about include: ● Was professional boxer Sonny Liston's death an overdose or murder? ● What Esperanto language movie did William Shatner star in? ● What one-handed pitcher threw a Major League no-hitter? ● Which animals don't need males to reproduce? ● Who was the artist that made shooting himself a work of art? The world can sometimes be a truly weird place and Absurdly Strange But True takes a look at all the absurdness and weirdness in a way that's unique as it's fun. This book is divided into six chapters by absurd topics-history, pop culture and sports, science, literature and art, geography, and the unexplained-with eight stories in each chapter. There is also a "Strange but True" section at the end of each chapter where ten additional absurd facts about the topic are discussed. No matter your interest, you're sure to find plenty in Absurdly Strange But True that will make you think, wonder, and laugh. So sit back, start reading, and enjoy learning about some of the most absurd and strange facts ever known to humanity.

Birth control. Body hair removal cream. Boobs. It’s all weird, but also pretty normal. Navigating racial identity, gender roles, workplace dynamics, and beauty standards, Mia Mercado's hilarious essay collection explores the contradictions of being a millennial woman, which usually means being kind of a weirdo. Whether it’s spending $30 on a candle that smells like an ocean that doesn’t exist, offering advice on how to ask about someone’s race (spoiler: just don’t, please?), quitting a job that makes you need shots of whiskey on your lunch break, or finding a more religious experience in the skincare aisle at Target than your hometown Catholic church, Mia brilliantly unpacks what it means to be a professional, absurdly beautiful, horny, cute, gross human. Essays include: • Depression Isn’t a Competition but Why Aren’t I Winning? • My Dog Explains My Weekly Schedule • Mustache Lady • White Friend Confessional • Treating Objects Like Women With sharp humor and wit, Mia shares the awkward, uncomfortable, surprisingly ordinary parts of life, and shows us why it’s strange to feel fine and fine to feel strange.

This is an intriguing, hard to put down book. Very interesting and easy to read. You may identify with some of the stories herein. These type of events actually happen to many, though not all are willing to share them with others, verbally or in writing. This book encompasses the realm of the spiritual, supernatural, and the unknown. The events reflected herein did happen, and it makes you wonder about the things which are truly unknown, currently, to mankind, but which are true nevertheless. Until the 1990s, scientists thought it was aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly. After decades of research, they did finally discover the answer to that mystery. Perhaps, in future years, research may discover why many of us experience the strange happenings which are reflected in this book. All of the mysteries of the brain have yet to be unlocked, and not many are willing to admit to alien contacts and why certain memories are buried within us, until they are revealed to us at a later time. Until then, it is interesting to read about these type of happenings and wonder.
