Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through the Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explain Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between by Thomas CathcartMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I had read these guys' earlier book, Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes, and just had to pick this one up when I saw it. Here, they use their brand of humor (well-crafted chestnuts, best read in a Jewish grandfather voice) to explore the concept of death. Shopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Heidegger and many others, all explained through the magic of humor. Fun and thought-provoking.

A couple days ago I checked out the Plato and Platypus text on audio book. Hope I comprehend it!
The cover sure looks amusing! Thanks for sharing~
Where does one obtain a Jewish grandpa voice? I know your son speaks British, but Yiddish also?
