196 Pages of Chock Full of FUN and INTERESTING Facts
25. Dezember 2003
This book is packed with really fun and interesting things to know. Want to know how you break a thread in a sealed bottle? Use the glass as a magnifying glass to burn through it. How do you photograph a fish in a fish tank and keep it from swimming away? Put a sheet of glass behind the fish and trap it near the front of the tank. How do you put a whole pear in a bottle? Tie an empty bottle to a branch and let the pear grow inside the bottle.
How do you play fox and geese, hex, tlachtli, ringo, pachisi, nyout, conkers, and so on? What do the signal flags on a ship mean? How do you tame a tarantula? How do you fire a cannon? How do you figure out when Easter is? There are lots and lots more including some things that most folks think they know such as how to mount a horse, and there are some things I would not recommend such as putting poppy seeds in your shoes so that you can walk unnoticed among people to whom you owe money.
So how do you hold a crocodile? You grab it behind the head with one hand and underneath its legs with your other hand. The catch is that crocodiles grow very rapidly and soon it will become too big to hold. Then you may want to have read page 9 so you know how to RUN from a crocodile.

How do they pick these items?
20. Oktober 2006
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
You know these guys are creative when they are selecting items for their book that even the reader himself did not think he really had to know. Now I know that if I hang up a broom then the bristles won't fall off. I know the proper technique for hammering home a nail.
The book is an eclectic mix of items that are really useful (see above)and fun items that one can just file away under "interesting minutiae." The ordering of the how-to's holds the readers attention well and the illustrations are not just well-drawn but very clever.

A fun answer book to some practical questions
3. April 2004
Of a lighter tone is The Diagram Group's How To Hold A Crocodile, which provides a fun answer book to some practical questions on handling wildlife; from handling a hamster or crocodile to measuring a horse. In all fairness, wildlife isn't all that's covered here - this all-encompassing 'how to Bible' includes tips on playing bagpipes, measuring humidity, surrendering, and more.
