Also an older title, I still enjoy re-reading this book from time to time. It’s also by William Poundstone and exposes information about things “they” don’t want you to know. Here’s a short list format summary of some of the topics in this one:
- What’s the recipe for Oysters Rockefeller? Poundstone travels to New Orleans to find out.
- The Rosicrucians: There’s a temple in San Jose I’ve been meaning to check out.
- The Bohemian Club: A lot more information has surfaced since this book was written about this party in the woods north of San Francisco for the wealthy and powerful.
- The Secret Teachings of L. Ron Hubbard: The founder of Scientology claims some amusing stuff.
- Mount Weather: This might be where Cheney goes any time he needs a secret, undisclosed location.
- Concealed Blackjack Computers: Wearable computers that help you count cards - the casinos don’t like ‘em.
- Dr. Bronner’s Soap: They sell this cool liquid soap at Trader Joe’s (I like the peppermint) but there’s tons of nutty stuff written on the labels.
- Where to Get Hard Liquor in Disneyland: A secret club.
- Brando Talks: After Marlon Brando moved to the South Pacific, I guess he took up gabbing on shortwave radio.
