Well, not everything. "Firefly" has been oddly quiet on the topic of pets, mortgages, and chili recipes. But I think this book covers everything else.

And so does this book. Jonathan Sullivan and friends have compiled a massive load of life lessons for your edification.

"Dead bodies do tell tales. Loudly. And sometimes with guns." "A funny-lookin' hat made by your mother is oft better than other things you can get in the mail." "Asking questions is a good way to get them noticed." "Cynicism is often a byproduct of death." "Bein' naked ain't so bad." "Replacing their snipers with your sniper generally works well for you. Not so much for them." "Heroism is all about timing." "Punching tends to ruin most parties." "Bein pretty saves people from imminent death. Hopefully." "Guns are an adequate substitute for brains." "Just because you lost don't mean you're done." "Being tortured together is a way to bond. Not the best way, by any stretch, but certainly a way." "Tossing a crate full of cash out the window rarely seems like a good idea. Try it sometimes anywise." "Hiding in plain sight always works. So long as the stuff is in plain view somewhere else." "Keeping people in freezers definitely makes them more transportable." "Hovering chandeliers don't need an excuse." "If the pilot of a ship forgets who is driving, this might be a cause for concern." And more!
