Tuesday Trivia: October 7, 2008

Head
New this month from the University of Nebraska Press is The Man with the Strange Head and Other Early Science Fiction Stories by Miles J. Breuer. Gathered together for the first time is the premiere publication of Miles J. Breuer, along with  essays, short stories, and his own letters from the discussion column of Amazing Stories.  This week Tuesday Trivia will take a very literal take on the words ‘strange head’ and share a few quirky facts on human brain. Care to join me readers? I can guarantee you’ll be a true brainiac when we’re done.
