Spanning a spectrum from useful to bizarre to downright comical, this amusing, amazing Internet Q & A ranges from language to geography to medicine to simply off the wall. As the official Webmaster for Xerox, Bill McLain is responsible for handling all mail from Xerox's external Web site. However, he was quickly surprised by the kinds of questions he was receiving, questions like whether people born blind can see in their dreams, where the lowest point on Earth is, and why rabbits are associated with Easter. In a move that brought national attention from MSNBC, CNN, and People magazine, McLain began to answer each and every question he received. The result - collected in Do Fish Drink Water? - is a surprising, funny, and informative collection of facts. McLain even explains the origin of the Christmas tree, what caused the Great Depression of 1929, and how to properly eat an Oreo cookie. He can even tell you why cats purr!
