Mental Floss: In the Beginning by Will Pearson
The smart alecks who brought you Mental Floss: Cocktail Party Cheat Sheets and Mental Floss: Genius Instruction Manual now present In the Beginning, a hilarious look at the origins of everyday things. From inventions that changed the world to the Big Bang and the birth of nations, from countries to can openers, from champagne to Cheez Whiz, In the Beginning covers every origin imaginable, making it a must-have for today's impossibly clever, cultured and sophisticated person.
Will Pearson and Mangesh Hattikudur met at Duke University as first-year students. Despite the temptations of law school and investment banking, the two co-founded mental_floss and have been smiling ever since. Maggie Koerth-Baker is a freelance journalist and former assistant editor at mental_floss magazine, where she dazzled Will and Mangesh with her brilliance.
