For those who love trivia about anything, you have to get a subscription for the magazine Mental Floss. I read every issue cover to cover. Every article is always fascinating ranging in subjects from history to medicine to pop culture and food, etc. The art is also great and usually hilarious, plus, what few ads they do have in the magazine are for "intellectual" products and events such as visual dictionaries and announcements for book festivals. Every issue reads like you are having a conversation with a friend at a coffee shop and it has stuff that you are never told about in school. Basically it rocks. Here are some of the titles of the feature stories in this month's issue:
- Toilet Paper: How America Convinced the World to Wipe
- Born to Run: 7 Incredible Escape Stories
- Architecture 2050: 5 Places to Live in the Future
- The Genius of the Joy of Cooking
Go on, check it out and test your knowledge by taking some fun quizzes on
Make sure you read their "About" section; it will really give you an idea of what to expect and it will make you laugh!
