Titles will sometimes pull you right in and you don't even know what hit you. My question is: Who was the guy (and you know it was a guy!) who first made the connection between hemlines and the economy? Not your stereotypical economist or actuary, I'm thinking.
Peter Fitzsimons has written a book that reviews some of life's "theories, conundrums, observations, quotations, and whatnots," including the one about hemlines.
Humorously written, you will learn the history behind some commonly held truths. Such as: every taxi driver knows that a driver wearing a hat will drive 20 miles per hour slower than those without hats.
This book will entertain you and give you enough information to be competitive in a trivia contest. You can buy How Hemlines Predict the Economy: Explanations, Rationalizations, and Theories on Everything today for only $3.66.
