Compiled by Billy Goldberg, an emergency medicine physician, and Mark Leyner, bestselling author and well-known satirist, Why Do Men Have Nipples? offers real factual and really funny answers to some of the big questions about the oddities of our bodies.
Typically, I'll read reviews for a book but not put much weight in them, since it really comes down to a matter of taste. I have to agree with other reviewers on this one, though. Some parts were funny. Some parts were very informative and interesting. But the quirky ramblings exchanged by the authors were like inside jokes that went on way too long. There was too much of this exchange that I'm sure they thought was hilarious, but meant nothing to me except crude commentary. Skip over that, and read the actual questions, and it wasn't bad.
My friends and I marveled at some of the facts -- who is the unlucky soul who gets to clock the speed of a fart? -- but for the most part, I've read/heard most of the info elsewhere.

Just the title makes you want to read it. If you ever wondered if you really could light your own fart or what eye boogers were made of, this is your book. Two doctors have answered probably hundreds of questions that we all have probably wondered about but never asked.

I found this book very entertaining...some off beat parts...like Body Oddities and Bathroom Humor...but overall an enjoyable book. This is the type book that you put in your bathroom,then wonder why your company takes so long.....

Sophomoric reading at its best. Not really sure how this became a national best seller.
