Because with so many bad ideas in the world, the good ones seem even better!"What Were They Thinking?" is a lighthearted and entertaining look at 400 of history's most harebrained schemes, foolish notions, useless products, and misguided obsessions. Readers will learn about the U.S. intelligence plot to grow breasts on Hitler and make his moustache fall out, the Iowa University professor's plan to blow up the moon, the escaped convict who blew his cover by appearing on a TV game show, and the baseball star who ironed his shirt - while he was still wearing it!The stories range from the hilarious to horrific, from the weird and wonderful to the just plain stupid.
