It certainly put a grin on my face when I picked it up. And, from what I saw flipping through it, the inside lives up to that cover ... looked like a fun read.

Agreed. From what I saw on the mandatory cataloguer flip-through, the content reminded me of some of the things Carl Sagan had to say about the human brain/memory in The Demon-Haunted World (a book I think highly of)
