This is a great book to read in little pieces. Each quote is only a few sentences, and you can read each section of the book in a few minutes. Great if you have to watch the kids and need to break up an argument.
After reading this book, I could be an expert. I just to get things grossly wrong once in awhile.

A compilation of famous last words and othet hyperbole from so-called experts, as the title would indicate. There are some genuinely funny misstatements in this volume. Mostly it's an exercise in sniggering.
Definitely designed for being dipped into, not read all at once.
