Fact: Chocolate contains the alkaloid theobromine, which in high doses can be toxic to humans, and in even small amounts can kill dogs, parrots, horses, and cats. This means that despite its name, the Kit-Kat candy bar is not a recommended snack for your kitty-cat. I wonder how many cats have died because of this confusion. Fact: The most germ-laden place on your toilet isn't the seat or even the bowl--it's the handle. The solution: Don't flush. Let the next guy worry about it. There are "just the facts"--and then there are just the facts that will frighten the bejeezus out of you. And thanks to this little gem of a bathroom book, you'll never look at the world the same way again, without, er, dry heaving a little bit. From the sneaky fish that can swim up our genitals to the E. coli bacteria lurking in the very water we drink, disturbing phenomena are everywhere we turn. Educational, entertaining, and undeniably horrifying, this book isn't guaranteed to help you, um, go to the bathroom, but it's certain to make your time there more...informed.… (més)

Not really scary, not really funny. Meh. (

There is a rape joke in this book and it just ruined it for me. (

So very interesting and horrifying. Though I am not sure that everyone will appreciate the sarcastic humor.... I love books like these with odd tidbits that you often may have wondered about...

Like I said very informative, but not everybody's cup of tea. Loved it though, and found it quite funny sometimes (

This is indeed the ultimate bathroom reader, with strange and interesting facts gathered from all over the internet and various journals and other writings. It is extremely easy to read whether that be for a few mins in the bathroom at a time or a couple of solid hours for front to back. Sometimes quirky, funny or gross.

It includes things you may never have even thought of before, for instance, I did not know that ox blood and products from sturgeon bladders were used to remove the impurities in wine. Now I do and will take great pleasure in telling every vegetarian I meet in the future who happens to be drinking a glass of wine.

I did find some of the author's comments after each fact generally humourous, but sometimes I was shaking my head. That however is probably my sense of humour rather than anything else.

This is a good bit of fluff for some interesting, weird info. I enjoyed it. (
