Every month, millions of people enter the term 'what if' on Google and other online search engines. What do they expect to find? The answer is something like the information you'll find in this collection of trivia, witticisms, and plain old useful information. Author Knut Olsen addresses questions like these: What if Adam had been gay? What if nobody drank alcohol? What if you could call God? A: The phone operator would probably charge you a fortune. What if you put all the condoms in the world on top of each other? What if you fired a gun on a train moving as fast as a bullet? What if we knew how much Governments around the world waste of taxpayers' money? You'll discover the answers to these and more than one thousand other "what if" questions on a wide range of topics, including family, religion, music, sex, politics and much more. As you read the questions and answers, you'll think, laugh, and often be surprised. We are surrounded by what-ifs, and some of them are so serious that you might not be prepared to consider them.

Murder on Moorea
Author: Austin Peterson
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595290817
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Moorea is one of the most romantic islands in the SouthSeas. It is no wonder that Chris Thomas, the 27 year-old computer whiz from Silicon Valley who had just sold his company for $60,000,000, fell in love with Heather Holloway, a beautiful 24 year-old Tahiti hotel hostess. Their wedding was the most colorful, most spectacular, most costly and most romantic event in Polynesian history. It was telecast world-wide. And then it happened. The most horrible, most gruesome murder imaginable. Too grisly for TV commentators to describe. A murder that shocked the peaceful island. A murder that turned a honeymoon into a nightmare.
