<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the authors of the bestselling "Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar" comes an uproarious new book on the meaning of death--and life, too. Illustrations throughout.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Q. Why are there almost as many jokes about death as there are about sex? </b></p><b> A. Because they both scare the pants off us. </b> <p/> Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein first made a name for themselves with the outrageously funny <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar...</i>. Now they turn their attention to the Big D and share the timeless wisdom of the great philosophers, theologians, psychotherapists, and wiseguys. From angels to zombies and everything in between, Cathcart and Klein offer a fearless and irreverent history of how we approach death, why we embrace life, and whether there really is a hereafter. As hilarious as it is enlightening, <i>Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates</i> is a must-read for anyone and everyone who ever expects to die. <p/>And now, you can read Daniel Klein's further musings on life and philosophy in <i>Travels with Epicurus</i> and <i>Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change it</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Thomas Cathcart and <b>Daniel Klein</b> studied philosophy together at Harvard in the last millennium. Since then Danny has written comedy for Lily Tomlin, Flip Wilson, and others, and published scores of fiction and nonfiction books-- from thrillers to entertaining philosophical books, such as his London <i>Times </i>bestseller <i>Travels with Epicurus </i>and his most recent book, <i>Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change It</i>. Born in 1939, Danny persists in denying his mortality. He thinks it's a joke. <p/> <b>Thomas Cathcart</b> studied theology and managed health care organi­zations before linking up with Danny to write <i>Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar, Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington</i>, <i>and I Think Therefore I Draw. </i>He is also the author of <i>The Trolley Problem, or Would You Throw the Fat Guy Off the Bridge?</i> and <i>There is no God and Mary is His Mother: Rediscovering Religionless Christianity</i>
