Kay's Incredible Inventions

內容簡介

內容簡介 你有沒有好奇過，周圍的這些東西都是從哪裡來的？不，這不是從拍賣網站上買來的啦！我要問的是誰發明了手機，或是那個讓人抓狂的學校是誰建的？舉個例子，你知道魔鬼氈是由一隻狗發明的嗎？而 WiFi 是由一位電影明星發明的？（劇透警告 —— 不是 Zendaya。）在這本由 Adam Kay 和 Henry Paker 合作的第四本笑到不能自已的書中，你將了解世界上最酷、最噁心、最荒謬的發明！你會認識使用過第一個馬桶的女王，了解為什麼人造奶油曾經滿是蛆，還會發現古希臘人為什麼會用餐盤擦屁股，哦！還有一些稍微有點實用的知識也許會出現……這本書是從 A 到 K，再到 Z，介紹那些改變我們生活的隨機、荒謬又革命性的發明（還有一些根本沒啥用處的發明……）Do you ever wonder where the stuff around you all came from? No, not from eBay. I mean, who had the amazing idea of making a mobile phone or the annoying idea of building a school? For example, did you know that Velcro was invented by a dog and WiFi by a movie star? (Spoiler alert - it wasn’t Zendaya.)In the fourth laugh-out-loud book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker, you’ll learn all about the coolest, grossest and most ridiculous inventions in the world. You’ll meet the queen who used the first ever toilet, learn why margarine used to be full of maggots and find out why Ancient Greeks wiped their bums on dinner plates. Oh, and hopefully some slightly more useful facts as well…An A to Kay to Z of the random, ridiculous and revolutionary inventions that changed our lives. (And some that definitely didn't . . .)
