From obscure history to classic wordplay to dumb crooks to inspiring quotations, you never know what you're going to read next!

Uncle John rules the world of information and humor, so get ready to be thoroughly entertained. Read all about...   * Homer the Greek versus Homer the Simpson * The history of the bicycle * When humans become hailstones * Alternate definitions for common words * Helen Keller's wisdom * The Silly Putty saga * And much more!… (more)

The entire Uncle John series is addicting and has single-handedly lead to many incidents of me "holding up the line" to the bathroom. ( )

Awesome book! I definitely need to get more of this series. I loooove these random-trivia type of books, and this one really rates among my favorites. So many different topics, and I love how there are short little sections, *and* longer "extended" sections, different lengths for different... bathroom experiences. lol
Tons of interesting random trivia, plus stories like the history of the San Francisco Quake and video games. Lots of variation and enough material to keep anyone interested for a long time! ( )
