Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader: Attack of the Factoids 

Bite-sized bits of information to give you the edge on trivia night—from crime and punishment to the rich and famous to ghosts, ghouls, oddballs, and more!   Packed with more than 400 pages, Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader: Attack of the Factoids is a fact-a-palooza of obscure information. Like what, you ask? Here are just a few extraordinary examples:* Bats always turn left when they exit a cave.* In the 1960s, astronauts trained for moon voyages by walking on Hawaiian lava fields.* Lloyd’s of London insured Bruce Springsteen’s voice for 3.5 million English pounds.* Physician Amynthas of Alexandria, Greece, performed the first known nose job in the Third Century B.C.* Military toilet paper is printed in a camouflage design, since white could attract enemy fire.* Elvis Presley always wore a helmet when watching football on TV.* King Henry VIII’s ladies at court had a ration of one gallon of beer per day.* It takes the energy from fifty leaves on an apple tree to produce one ripe fruit.* The only country to host the Summer Olympics but not win a single gold medal was Canada, in 1976. And that’s just the beginning! So what are you waiting for? Attack!
