If you're looking for something a little different, try this cool title:
"The Simpsons, the world's most popular and longest-running animated series, is a treasure-trove of scientific ideas and a clever mixture of fact and fancy. Now there's a guide to the science behind the show. In What's Science Ever Done for Us? What the Simpsons Can Teach Us about Physics, Robots, Life and the Universe you'll find answers to an amazing array of scientific questions raised in 26 classic episodes, including:
- Can genetics explain Homer's dimwittedness and Lisa's brains?
- Are shrink-rays and teleportation devices possible along the lines of Professor Frink's inventions?
- Could androids, like the one that replaced Bart in one episode, ever have consciousness?
Whether you're a Simpsons fan, a science buff, or both, get ready to laugh and learn as Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa, and the entire town of Springfield prove that science isn't just fun--it's hilarious!"(back cover)
