Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins: A Trip Through the World of Animal Intoxication by Oné R. Pagán

4.0

My favorite kind of science book blends humor in with the weirdness of the topic at hand, and Oné Pagán nailed it with Drunk Flies and Stoned Dolphins. Pick this up if you want to hear about the romantic lives of cicadas—sometimes they get so stoned that they boink like maniacs until their abdomens fall off. And then they die. Or perhaps you prefer insects getting revenge on the scientists who study them, like the bees who were provided booze and became so filled with rage that they swarmed inside the lab and stung any human they could find. Fun!
