From the publisher
From the rear cover
- Can genetics explain Homer's dimwittedness and Lisa's brains?
- Are shrink-rays and teleportation devices possible along the lines of Professor Frink's inventions?
- Could androids, like the one that replaced Bart in one episode, ever have consciousness?
- Do toilets in North America and Australia flush in opposite directions?
- If Earth were in peril, should we try to escape on a rocket, like Marge, Lisa, and Maggie did, and attempt to colonize Mars?
- Could we travel back in time, like Homer did, change the past, and find ourselves in a parallel reality?
