From chapters.ca:To err is human - to read all about it is time well spent! They Did What?! holds up a carnival funhouse mirror to the human race, showing kids an hilarious reflection of foibles, flubs and foolishness. Over the course of history, humanity has achieved great things: the Great Pyramids, space travel and the world wide web, to name a few. But why not celebrate our eccentricities, our famous bloopers, the bits that have been edited out for so long- such as pet rocks, air guitar contests and turkey- and- gravy soda! They Did What?! approaches history, science and culture from a new perspective, awarding the booby prize to history's most ridiculous fads, hoaxes, daredevils, advertising, urban legends, inventions and more.
