Synopsis
In The Pedant's Revolt you learned that you were wrong about everything you thought was right. Now the Pedant returns--with a twist. The Pedant's Return is an addictive collection of outlandish assertions that are so absurd...they must be true. Prepare to discover that you're wrong about, well, even the things you think are wrong. Apple seeds are poisonous? An electric eel can actually electrocute you? The S in Harry S. Truman doesn't stand for anything? Everyone knows those are old wives' tales...or are they? Luckily the Pedant has returned to rescue you from your ignorance and to explain to you why: -Eating too many carrots can turn you orange -Bone china contains actual bones-Men have a higher pain threshold than women-Charles Darwin married his first cousin-A beer shortage caused the Pilgrims' early landing at Plymouth-Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, had a genital piercing-A citizen's arrest is legal From the entertainment industry to the Bible, food and drink to medical matters, royalty to birds and insects, The Pedant's Return sets the record straight about everything you thought you knew.
