Summary:
Ever wonder why onions make you cry? Or why lizards do pushups? Or why leaves change color in the fall? Science writer and broadcaster Jay Ingram wonders the same things. He's here to put our scientific quandaries to rest, sharing his favorite head-scratchers and mind-benders, settling pressing questions, such as What is déjà vu? Why were Tyrannosaurus Rex's arms so short? Why are you plagued by mosquitoes while your friends aren't?Does your cat actually like you? Jay Ingram was the host of Discovery Channel Canada's Daily Planet for sixteen years, and before that hosted CBC Radio's science show Quirks & Quarks. Mosquitoes love him.
