Everything needs water to survive, right? Humans drink water. Plants drink water. But do fish drink water? They live in water, true enough. They die if taken out of the water. But do they actually drink the water? Answers to this and other fascinating questions are revealed in this collection of head-scratchers on a variety of subjects. And as the answers to the many questions posed in Do Fish Drink Water? prove, truth really is stranger than fiction. From world history to the animal kingdom to science and the most seemingly basic aspects of everyday life, no stone is left unturned in a book where the simplest questions lead to the most astounding-and sometimes downright improbable-conclusions. Author Bill McLain, the official webmaster for Xerox, assembled this book after receiving a host of unusual questions through his company's website. Narrators Eliza Foss and George K. Wilson supply the perfect voices for all the surprising queries contained in McLain's intriguing work. "[McLain is] a veritable Internet legend known for having all the answers."-San Francisco Chronicle
