How a few coughs in China got buried under a much bigger story. How "follow the science" became "don't follow the money." Names will be named. Timelines clarified. His fingerprints will be all over it--figuratively, of course. And maybe literally.

99 Reasons
99 Reasons Why Cats Rule - and Why We Worship Them Anyway.This funny cat book collects 99 witty snapshots of real feline life: 5 a.m. wake-up calls, sacred cardboard boxes instead of designer beds, keyboard sabotage in the home office, sock theft, botanical crusades against houseplants, midnight hallway sprints, and those magical moments when a single purr melts every worry. Each vignette reads like a mini sketch - sharp, humorous, and true to the paradox of the cat: aristocrat and clown at once. ���� What's inside The texts celebrate the eternal paradox: cats are independent yet affectionate, strict yet comforting, perched in dignity on the back of the sofa only to become a paper-roll performance artist minutes later. You'll meet bathroom audiences, the philosophy of the door ("always closed - except when it's open"), royal eye contact, Zen-master naps, and the great natural law: "The packaging is better than the gift." Along the way come gentle love bites, affectionate head-butts, and nightly pillow takeovers reminding us why we joyfully let ourselves be trained. ���� Who is it for? For everyone who lives with fur: new cat parents, long-time cat owners, couples, roommates, families, grandparents - and anyone who loves humorous cat stories that bring laughter and stress relief. Perfect for readers who enjoy cat quotes books, cat jokes books, or a good vibes book cats to brighten any day. ✨ Why it works Because recognition sparks laughter: the solemn inspection of the scratching post, the operatic performance in the bathroom, the intense stare into the aquarium, the refrigerator oracle, and the silent rule over couches and hearts. Between irony and warmth, this cat humor book shows how a blink, a head-butt, or a nap on the keyboard teaches us mindfulness, calm, and a pinch of feline wisdom. Cats are the best stress-relief coaches on four paws. ���� Perfect gift idea As a cat lover gift, a funny gift for women or men, a present for a best friend or colleague, a birthday gift, a Christmas gift, or a thank-you for the cat sitter - this humorous cat book works for every occasion. Whether as a travel companion, coffee-table book, or quick bedtime read, these miniatures turn small disasters into funny anecdotes you'll keep sharing. ���� Content highlights From "Water only from your glass" to "Laptop is lava" and sunspot hunting: 99 tiny stories reveal laser-pointer logic, the duel "vacuum cleaner vs. feline majesty," and the eternal riddle "half full = empty." Every scene is short, sharp, and instantly recognizable - pure funny cat humor. ���� Tone & style Charming, cheeky in the best sense, always heartfelt - short, precise mini-texts that dance between light satire and genuine affection. Ideal for a cat mom gift, a funny gift cat lovers, or anyone looking for a quick smile and an anti-stress break. Open, chuckle, sigh, breathe again.
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Hindsight might be 20/20 but that won't help you until it's too late . . . You might be familiar with one "Eureka!" moment, but that's not the only bathtub brainwave out there. Sometimes inventions are the result of just stumbling into a good idea--imagine trying to save people from malaria and inventing a new shade of purple instead. And sometimes ideas are better left on the drawing board, like an instant haircutter that also helpfully burns your hair off, or a trashcan that is also a food-storage container, cheese grater, and flytrap all in one. There are countless inventions that never quite "took off," like a bicycle geared to travel at the speed of light. And then there's the Canadian inventor who discovered how to fly without wings or a balloon. But if you're looking for openings in the market, don't bother building a better mousetrap--there are more mousetrap patent categories than there are successful mousetrap designs.For fans of What If? and MythBusters, What Could Possibly Go Wrong? is a collection of fascinating and amusing "did you know" stories including great ideas that never made it to market, lost technologies, absurd inventions, and more. Some of these stories are stranger than fiction, but all of them have the added benefit of being true.
