    Synopsis

    Here is the third installment in a series of reference books, all written by Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey, a team of highly energized and deeply focused scientists with over sixty-seven combined years of experience at their command, including six months spent lifting awkwardly-sized boxes.
    Animals of the Ocean advances many heretofore unexplored discoveries and opinions, including squid dating dos and don'ts, why squid are not at all able to watch television in black and white, the ways in which people who don't know any better might think fish are not animals, the long-term effects of salt water on musical theater, and also the adventure of Gunther.
    Animals of the Ocean, in Particular the Giant Squid comes with a foil-stamped and leather-inspired cover. Its pages are full color and illustrated without reserve. This book does not contain a warning label, but if it did, it would advise readers to enjoy its pages only in small and furtive doses, such as while waiting your turn at tetherball.

    Humor?by Anonymous

    August 07, 2009: This odd book, expensively produced with some interesting vintage-style science illustrations, reads like a underground newspaper written for a small circle of nerdy friends who are completely taken with their senses of humor. The big problem is that it's simply not funny nor interesting on any level. The writing here is what is best described as "smirking jerk" humor. Charts and diagrams of nonsensical "science" information include items like a table entitled "Match the Animal of the Ocean with the Kind of Food They Eat" with lettered options such as "Fruitrolls", "Mountain Dew and Snackwell's cream filled Cookies" and (seriously) "White People Dressed as Native Americans". Nyuck, nyuck...yuck.

    The sales rank, #178583, seems quite high for a book that offers nothing to anyone except for annoying tedium. It's a mind-numbing collection of nonsense, suitable for pulping.
