註釋

In this, her ninth book, author Amy Weaver storms the barricades of injustice in this silly yet serious attack on the inequities of life. From Stan, a flightless bird salvaged from a science lab where he was genetically engineered, we learn to appreciate knowing the contents of our DNA have not been co-mingled with that of frogs, animals or other plant life; from Barry, a British teen on a late-night trip, we learn to fear passenger train lavatories; while from the author herself we develop a keen sense of both the absurd and the profound in the ordinary aspects of everyday life through essays, poems, and full-color artwork plentiful throughout the book. With such entreaties as "If it were actually true that each generation received better from its parents than the generation before then the dawn of history must have been bleak indeed," to "The only constant is change, and change may not pay the rent, but it does repair what's rent," we begin to understand more fully why stupid things keeps happening to us, but more importantly, the strength of character we forge in the process of overcoming recurring mishaps and calamities.
