Because Ken Jennings Said So

Posted: 04 Jan 2015 05:32 PM PST

I recently finished reading Because I Said So, a fun easy read from Ken Jennings.

The premise of the book is simple: Jennings does some research to either prove or disprove various chunks of wisdom and advice that have been passed along from generation to generation. A few topics that I found interesting:

  • Dropping a coin from a tall building – how bad could it hurt someone?
  • Whether you should drink 8 glasses of water each day
  • If peeing on your feet can cure athlete’s foot
  • What would happen if you ate the “Do not eat” silica gel packets

As you can see, some of the topics are more serious than others… as I shared some of the insights with my wife, she noted that some of them had also been themes for episodes of the Mythbusters TV show.

Each topic/chapter is pretty short – a few pages – which makes this an easy book to read intermittantly. This probably makes it a good candidate for bathroom reading :)
