About the Book
The smart alecs who brought readers "Mental Floss: Cocktail Party Cheat Sheets" and "Mental Floss: Genius Edition" presents "In the Beginning," which looks at the origins of everyday things from inventions that changed the world.Book Synopsis
Sure, you know all about the birds and bees. But did Dad ever tell you that it wasn't a stork that put that shiny can opener in your kitchen drawer? Or paperclips started out as proud, Nazi-fighting warriors? And did he tell you how cruise control was originally conceived by a blind genius? From mullets to Silly Putty, lie detectors to karaoke, we've got the true stories behind everything you didn't think had stories. Because if you're looking for answers, In the Beginning is the place to start.
