Overview: Dave Feldman grew up not in a log cabin, but a tract house in Mar Vista, California. From an abnormally early age, Dave was fascinated by popular culture.

#4 (PDF only) – Why Do Dogs Have Wet Noses?: And Other Inponderables of Everyday Life (1990)
"Why Dogs Have Wet Noses? And Other Imponderables" has been around for nearly twenty years but it hasn’t lost its charm. David Feldman answers some questions I’ve been wondering about for years. Like "Why do foreign pop and rock performers sing with an American accent?" Or have you ever wondered why peaches are fuzzy? Then there is the question of the missing socks. My own take on socks is that they get caught inside other clothes and are rediscovered later, however I do have some socks that have never reappeared. Where did they go? This book gives some insight into question like this and most of them are fun and enjoyable to read.
