Features: Did you know? Theoretically, a person's intelligence can be transferred to another through injection. Imagine acquiring the knowledge of Shakespeare or Einstein—or finishing last night's homework—without hard work, just with a single subcutaneous injection! Did you know people can die from laughing? A Danish doctor actually died of a heart attack triggered by laughter while watching the movie A Fish Called Wanda. These kinds of bizarre yet informative and entertaining questions are answered in this foreign edition of Why Do Things Happen in a physiological and hygiene book, providing reasonable answers to satisfy your curiosity in this area. Renowned Australian anthropologist and educator Stephen Juan answers various questions about the human body in the form of Why Do Things Happen in this book. From the very beginning, it answers intriguing questions like "When do you second?"—dreaming? feeling? seeing? hearing? smelling? tasting?—which draws readers in, followed by answering peculiar questions such as: Can the human body predict earthquakes? Can a person's intelligence be transferred through injection? etc. It is both informative and fun. Concise, easy to understand, and sure to keep you hooked.
