So does everyone know and/or read Uncle John's Bathroom Readers? If not, check out this here website or that there Facebook page. For those uninformed, the Bathroom Readers are basically compilations of random trivia, short essays, and interesting facts. Although the topics are occasionally gruesome or creepy, the majority are rawther funny and entertaining. Here's a collection of snippets from Uncle John's Unsinkable Bathroom Reader, which I have right here in my very own bathroom -

In 2007 the Edmonton Sun interviewed a 70-year-old woman identified only as "Maggie" who claimed she devoured the Edmonton Sun every day - literally. For the previous seven years, she'd cut the newspaper into strips and eaten it because, she said, it "tastes good." The woman decided to come forward after doctors removed a massive ball of paper that was lodged in her esophagus.
... excerpts from real church bulletins:
"The church office will be closed until opening. It will remain closed after opening. It will reopen Monday."
"Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered."
It takes 300 pounds of pressure per square inch to break a macadamia nut's shell.
Well, that's it for now, and I hope you were in the bathroom when reading these Bathroom Reader excerpts - and hopefully you did not drop your computer in the toilet!
