Publisher's summary

The paradox Of Humility: Is being humble really what it’s all about? Most of us are all too aware that, in the end, we are just humans, but is it wrong to be proud of what we are, and what we have achieved? In Vol.1, Dr Futon poses the question of whether humility is really something worth striving for, and whether it is acceptable

The Theory Of Relativity: Einstein’s theory of relativity goes beyond most people’s conception, but this time, Dr Futon discusses how relativity affects all of our daily lives. The way we view our personal situation, the way we see the world around us, is often dictated by the relative importance we attach to it. Futon covers our relative intelligence when seen through the eyes of a South-American pigmy, to the relative unimportance of genital magnitude.

A question Of Perspective: To understand the world around us, we need to view things from different perspectives. Our own views, however valid, may differ greatly from those of another person. Listening to another person’s opinion can be very enlightening, and can show us that our own views are not necessarily the correct ones.

The Gospel According To Penguins: Here we meet T-Bito for the first time. Dr Futon turns up at the studio to make his latest recording about religion, and finds T-Bito dressed in a Gladiator uniform preparing to produce some “ecclesiastical” backing music together with his yobbish mates. The recording never actually happens, for the two of them start discussing just how farFuton should go with his rather hard-line atheist views, and the hilarious conversation which ensues, is both side-splitting and at the same time, thought-provoking.

Crime and Punishment: What is right and what is wrong? People have been discussing the issues of law for thousands of years; yet never seem to agree upon what constitutes a crime, and what would be a fitting punishment for one who commits such a crime. Dr Futon and T-Bito discuss the various aspects of the subject in depth,including T-Bito’s constant traffic-offences, and the crimes of social-injustice within our society, including Dr Futon’s hilarious “4-sausage theory” to help“T” understand the problems of unemployment.
