Synopsis
For years, readers have flocked to the Fake Science site for scientifically flavored information. The research there has been lauded by Mental Floss as "inaccurate and ridiculous in every way," praised by the Guardian as "brilliantly false," heralded by io9 as "amazing," and noted by Google as "a website."
Now readers can finally share the freshest discoveries of the Fake Science lab. Larded with hundreds of footnotes, illustrations, and a small amount of lard (it reduces paper manufacturing costs), Fake Science 101 is a completely new truth-sterilized textbook.

About the Author
Phil Edwards has transcribed the findings of the Fake Science labs for years, without pay or comprehension. He hasn't encountered a single explosion while writing. Though Edwards is based in an unnamed location that rhymes with Shmicago, Shmillinois, Fake Science has labs in Dubai, Tokyo, and Fort Thomas, Kentucky, a charming suburb within walking distance of Cincinnati. Visit the lab at fakescience.tumblr.com.
From the Back Cover
Really, you need to see the back cover for yourself. The only way to do that is by buying this book (or by clicking on "Back Cover" underneath the picture). But the only way to taste the back cover is by buying the book. Licking your monitor doesn't count.
From the Inside Flap
You'll read full chapters about:
- The History of Science
- Astronomy
- Biology
- Chemistry
