Howard Bennett in the Washington Post
It’s kind of gross, but our friend, Howard Bennett, is writing a book on “the gross facts of life.” He is quoted in Monday’s Washington Post discussing what happens if you drink urine or eat insects. Not exactly cocktail conversation but he hopes topics that will be fun for kids as a way into reading more about science and how the body works. In just this short article, he gives examples of where you might want to use urine in an emergency situation.
We’ll be looking forward to getting more excerpts of his book and seeing it when it comes out next year could
Howdy! Put me on the list for a copy. I've got a nephew who is into all things gross, especially bodily functions. Thanks, Susan. p.s. The bat story REALLY grossed me out. So, "I vant to bite your neck " isn't technically accurate. "I vant to lick your neck" just doesn't have the same fright factor!
