Bill McLain

Bill McLain
  Years ago a webmaster for Xerox wrote a bestselling book called Do Fish Drink Water? The book was a question and answer book that dealt with puzzling and improbable questions. This book was written and published in 1999. BilMcLain later wrote a second book called What Makes Flamingo's Pink? Unfortunately Bill McLain passed away in 2001 just before his second book went into print.
  These books were written back in a time when people really did not know how to find information on the internet through a search engine. So people would email their questions to Bill McLain through the Xerox website since he was their webmaster at the time and Bill would make it his mission to respond back to you within 24 Hours. Not much is known about the author's biography other than a brief interview found here. It's a shame that he never got to write a third book, because I have been dying for a new one and there hasn't been an Imponderables book in several years.
