Lots of fascinating facts squeezed inside one book. Both amusing and scary (and makes you say "No way" many times, just to do some reasearch and see that actually the authors are kind of right :)) Was really fun to read!

Very fun, highly readable, the contributors to this paperbound collection of internet hilarity are masters of a compelling paragraph and colorful descriptions. All accurate? Not necessarily, so be careful when relating these repeatable tidbits.

Hilarious and informative, although while the authors routinely ridicule those who accept rumor and hearsay as fact, they never cite their own sources. True, there is so much information on offer that the cites would probably double the length of the book. Even so, I am hesitant to pass on any of these interesting nuggets in conversation for fear that, if challenged, I would have to admit that I am simply paraphrasing the authors of Cracked.com.
With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and literally laughed out loud almost all the way through.

You Might Be a Zombie and other Bad News. 5 CDs. 6 hrs. unabridged. Tantor Audio. 2014. ISBN 978149500245. $39.99.
Hilarious and intriguing, this audiobook will fill in all the gaps in your childhood education that you never knew were missing. Cracked.com compiled the zaniest, most terrifyingly mind blowing lists of bizarre factoids, stories, and history for your listening pleasure. This compilation covers science, pop culture, nature, urban legends, psychology, historical intrigues, and will leave you questioning everything you ever thought you knew. Jellybeans, dolphins, the color blue, IBM, LSD, and poop are just some of the many things you will find yourself learning about. Listeners will become vastly more prepared for obscure Jeopardy questions and bar trivia. Narrator and two time Audie Award winner, Johnny Heller, brilliantly narrates this ridiculously hilarious compilation and clearly has a great time in the process. For fans of trivia, humor, and history. - Erin Cataldi, Johnson County Public Library, Franklin, IN

Kind of funny in parts, but some of the stuff was nothing new. I don't know. It was just fine. I wouldn't buy it or anything, but it was a fluff read.
