Apparently, some guys head out to the shed after a fight with the wife. It's an interesting concept, though it doesn't seem to be a very attractive one. I have all sorts of things to say on the subject, but that's another conversation over a pint at the local pub.

What I will say is that if you find yourself heading out to the shed after such a fight, then this book may be the thing for you. You need something to do while you're out in that shed. "101 Incredible Experiments for the Shed Scientist" should be just the thing.

While we're on the topic of sheds, let me just wonder to myself who in the world has enough room for setting up scientific experiments in a shed? I've never seen a shed that had enough floor space to walk on, much less enough table or counter space to actually do anything.

But I like the concept. In fact, why not just build yourself a shed for the express purpose of performing scientific experiments and refuse to let anyone store things inside? Now, that's what I'm talking about. You could take over the world with just the right shed.

Of course, if you don't have a shed, or if you have one and it's full of rusty tools and unidentifiable objects, then you may consider being a spare room scientist or an attic scientist. Even a basement scientist. I think the mad scientist community is moving more toward using basements anyway.

This is beautifully illustrated as well, which always makes things a lot more fun. This isn't just the territory of guys, you know. Plenty of women have gotten a lot of enjoyment from making water run uphill or creating clouds or making slime. Ooh. I wanna make slime.
