I have only read the title story, but:

"People think that the human brain is in the head. Nothing of the sort; it is carried by the wind from the Caspian Sea."

"This makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon."

Gold.
