Description

If you've ever asked yourself, "Am I the only person who gets irritated by that very trivial thing" the answer is almost certainly no, as you'll more than likely discover right after buying this book.

From the tiniest nanoparticle to the enormity of the Large Hadron Collider, humans have invented many remarkable things. But as relentless as the march of progress is, not every idea is a winner. This book collects and critiques some of the most noxious brain farts ever spewed forth from our collective gastrointestinal tract.

The Dictionary of Terrible Ideas reminds us that no matter how high we may soar, humans are as unreliable as a Bluetooth connection, as irritating as a self-checkout machine, and as prone to making poor decisions as Kanye West - all of which feature inside.

Author Bio

Dom Knight is one of the founders of The Chaser, and as a writer on most of their projects he was definitely responsible for all of the jokes you liked and none of the bad ones. In recent years he's also presented serious programs on ABC Radio and a silly one on Triple M. His books include The Strayan Dictionary, Strayapedia, Trumpedia and The 2020 Dictionary.
