The editors of National Lampoon do not understand the term "brand-new." At least 75% of the material in this book comes directly from the 1995 collection "National Lampoon Presents True Facts: The Big Book." This 2004 edition should be marketed as a four-color reissue with some additions, not as a completely new work. The new material is not very funny, the editorial comments are rife with typos, and at least three images are repeated twice _in the same book_! What a sloppy, frustrating follow-up to the hilarious 1995 collection.

I just saw this Bicycling Comedian guy on Good Morning America showing pictures of his funny road signs. I had to go out and buy the book! It doesn't disappoint.

Tons of great color photos interspersed with funny newspaper clippings. Must be the best collection of funny road signs out there, very cleverly put together with a theme on each page.

Everybody I've shown it to has laughed out loud, no matter what page they turn to. Reall funny stuff.

This book is a great collection of the 'best' of National Lampoon's famous True Facts section which started the whole "Weird News" category.
The new stuff is just as good, and the presentation of the material makes for a snicker-when-no-one's-looking book. A very guilty pleasure!

Or maybe snicker and chortle. This big, colorful book is full of pictures that will make you giggle and true-but-strange news stories that will have you going to your friends and say "listen to this!"
Really funny!
