Good Book

"The Odd Body" is on of the most fascinating books I have read so far. It is not one of those boring books on Body Science that you had to read back in High School. This book answers all the weird, silly and bizarre questions you have ever wanted to know about the human body. It answers interesting questions like: a) can you keep a severed head alive? (Something I have always wanted to know) b) Can we die laughing? c) Can we live for ever? Once I started to read this book I found myself unable to put it down. So if you are the type of person who is into the mysteries of the human body I would highly recommend this book.
