how weird, i love this book and just rescued it from my spring cleaning giveaway pile yesterday. I highly recommend buying this book, you don’t even have to keep it in the bathroom if it grosses you out. It is chock full of random facts to bring up on long car rides and bad dates.

You should all check out the documentary Wordplay. It’s a pretty great movie on the subject. A lot of funny people in there, too.

I love the uncle john bathroom reader series, but I now only read it as entertainment. It gives too much credence to conspiracy theories and unchecked bits of false trivia. Nevertheless, I owe much of my trivia knowledge to Uncle John.

My day doesn’t start until I finish the LA Times daily puzzle. On Sundays, I do the LA Times, LA Times Magazine puzzle and the NY Sunday Times puzzle. Guess you could say I love them.

The Sunday NY Times puzzle isn’t harder than the Saturday puzzle. It’s bigger, but the clues are easier. The Saturday puzzles are the killers.

I honestly can not complete a puzzle on my own. Before I moved away from home my mom and I would do them together and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with her. Now I have to rely on co-workers to get me out of a “corner.”

oh crossword puzzles are definitely not my forte… i don’t think i’ve ever completed an entire one, probably because the clues are sometimes so ambiguous. and it’s funny because i’m awesome at scrabble! at least i like to think i am…

Just a thing that crossed my mind.. I never, ever spend enough time in the bathroom to read one of these Bathroom Reader posts. Ever.

>> “Arthur Wynne was a writer… at the turn of the
>> 19th century”And he was still alive in 1913? That makes him about 140.
