About Me

Ever wonder what PEZ really means or how you could survive a shipwreck? HowStuffWorks.com has your answers.

We’re those kids who could clean house in a game of Trivial Pursuit, and should be on speed dial when it’s time for your local trivia night. Growing up, Curious George was our favorite book - not because the monkey was cute, but because we could relate to his thirst for knowledge.

The Internet is one of our favorite inventions and we’re excited to give you a glimpse into our world here at HowStuffWorks.com . So, come on in and take a closer look at the things that make us tick and the place you wish you worked.





My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who would describe themselves as inquisitive or probing, who likes to be informed about everything (so that they can be the authority on anything!) and who thinks learning about whether or not gum really stays in your stomach for 7 years - or how almost anything works - is the coolest way to spend time online.

Heroes:
