About The Book If You Actually Read It:
For years, readers have flocked to the Fake Science site for scientifically flavored information. The research there has been lauded by Mental Floss as "inaccurate and ridiculous in every way," praised by the Guardian as "brilliantly false," heralded by io9 as "amazing," and noted by Google as "a website."
Now readers can finally share the freshest discoveries of the Fake Science lab. Larded with hundreds of footnotes, illustrations, and a small amount of lard (it reduces paper manufacturing costs), Fake Science 101 is a completely new truth-sterilized textbook.
Praise for Fake Science 101:
—Isaac Newton
"For the last time, I am not the physicist Stephen Hawking. I'm Steve Hawking and I'm a business administrator in Ohio. I will not read your book."
—Stephen Hawking, Says He's Not The Physicist, But Who Knows?
"Pretty good, but somewhat lacking in its coverage of Lithium."
—Lithium, Third Element On The Periodic Table
—Nikola Tesla
"If I'd read this book, I probably wouldn't have eaten so much uranium."
—Marie Curie
"Thank you for contacting the offices of Neil Armstrong. The office cannot respond to all letters, but thank you for your interest. Please enjoy the enclosed color photograph."
—Neil Armstrong, First Man On the Moon
