From Publishers Weekly:
The eighth in Feldman's Imponderables series (When Do Fish Sleep?, etc.), this volume collects questions submitted by readers, each credited individually, ranging through fields of human and animal endeavor. We learn the answer to the eponymous query (hyenas don't laugh), why leather is expensive (if we ate more beef, it wouldn't be), what the difference is between a roll and a bun (none; it's a matter of arbitrary local definition) and how the product Grecian Formula knows what color to dye your hair (it doesn't). Annoyingly, the Imponderables are presented helter-skelter without organization according to subject-matter, e.g., clothing, utensils, etc. Most fun are the chapters on Frustrables, the most frustrating imponderables: Why don't women spit more? Why do dogs tilt their heads when you talk to them? 50,000 first printing; author tour.

Review:
Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Feldman's knack of asking 'imponderable' questions continues in this blend of science and puzzles which come from readers' questions about everyday life. As many of these questions are scientific in nature this book is reviewed here; but trivia fans may find it equally compelling. -- Midwest Book Review
