Pretty Good Science Jokes


Does the rotation of the Earth really make your day? Do you like to hear chemistry puns, periodically? Do you distrust atoms because they make up everything? Then this illustrated collection of hundreds of witty science jokes, puns, and silly fact-based zingers will brighten many cycles around the sun. Science is great because it helps us understand the world around us through systematic and methodical experimentation, observation, and the testing of theories and weighing of evidence. Pretty Good Science Jokes proves incontrovertibly that it's also hilarious. What kind of dog do chemists prefer? Laboratory retrievers. Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? The food was out of this world, but there was no atmosphere. What do plants eat between meals? Light snacks. Why do biologists look forward to casual Fridays? They can wear their genes to work. Gathering the best, most irresistibly corny, and slyly funny jokes from the fields of chemistry, biology, technology, physics, geology, astronomy, math, zoology, and more, this giftable hardcover collection sneaks scientific fact and insights into the basis of each humorous quip, making it a rewarding celebration for science lovers and a welcome invitation for the scientifically curious.

Cthulhu - The Ancient One Tribute Box


The signature character of author H. P. Lovecraft's darkly fantastic fiction, Cthulhu is as emblematic for Lovecraft's fans as Darth Vader is for Star Wars adherents. Both feared and worshipped in the stories, Cthulhu has since been the subject of new fiction, artwork, role-playing games, toys and other items celebrating Lovecraft and fandom for weird tales. This totemic set includes a hand-painted figurine suitable for display or dark contemplation, an altarpiece stand and a booklet discussing the Ancient One's place in Lovecraft's works and in popular culture.

How to Speak Zombie


"Like Farts: A Spotter's Guide", this is a sound book. The concept is that it teaches you how to speak zombie and treats it as though it is like any other foreign language you might want (in this case, NEED) to know how to speak, now that you are surrounded by zombies. The book will feature 9-10 different day-in-the-life scenarios for situations in which you might need to speak zombie and gives different intonations for zombie sounds, including a large Brains button that you can hit if you panic. Brains is an all-purpose zombie phrase, and it'll get you out of any tight situation. The scenarios suggest a world now overrun by zombies, but kind of now carrying as before except that everyone's a zombie (except you and a few others); so you might want to order a latte from a zombie barista, but if you don't say it correctly, they'll know you're not a zombie and try to eat you. Hence the need for this book. Other scenarios include how to blend in at sporting events, a day at the office, shopping at the mall, an afternoon at the dog park, and more.
