HP, I just finished Alien Hand Syndrome. I loved it. Way cool stuff.
I posted a review over at goodreads.com ... here's what it says:

I love curious stories about stuff. All kinds, not restricted to topic. I've been fascinated by this sort of thing since elementary school, when I would find little gems in my Scholastic Book Club newsprint flyer every month, and beg my mother to give me the money for books like Strange but True Tales. As the years passed the books were lost or given away, but my love for the oddities and curiosities of life continued. I was overjoyed to find in this book details of some of those old scraps of information I'd been hoarding in my brain, like the Stewardess Who Fell 33,000 Feet, Clever Hans, and the Japanese Solider who refused to believe the WWII was over because Japan's loss was so inconceivable. Add to that a chapter on my favorite psychiatric diagnosis (Capgras Syndrome)! Thank you Alan Bellows and damninteresting.com!!

I gave you five stars out of five, btw.
