Title: Dave Barry Is from Mars and Venus
First published: 1997
Description: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and Wheel of Fortune contestant Dave Barry exposes the shattering truth. Whether he's splashing with the U.S. sychronized swim team ("Picture a bunch of elegant swans swimming with a flailing sea cow") or reliving the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving ("We've decided to obliterate your culture, but first may we try the stuffing?"), Dave Barry proves that one man can make a difference--by having the guts to answer the questions few people bother to ask: ¸  What makes people want to eat animals they would never consider petting? ¸  Where do the World's Three Most Boring People meet? ¸  Why is Colorado freezing so many human gonads? ¸  And just how does Oprah have the power to turn a 1957 Hotpoint toaster manual into a #1 bestseller?From the Trade Paperback edition.
