Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Wonderful World of Odd (Paperback)

~ Bathroom Readers' Institute (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

If the world’s longest ear hair, a woman whose legs were broken by a flying pig, a college student who got credit for dressing like a lobster and living in a box for three months, and a man who patented a method for determining the sex of spinach plants all ended up in the same place, what would the result be? Why, another edition of the Bathroom Reader, of course! The series’ latest entry is another riotous collection of bizarre news, facts, and fun from all over the world.
