- Packed with more than 300 pages, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Attack of the Factoids is a fact-a-palooza of obscure information. Like what, you ask? Here are just a few extraordinary examples:- Bats always turn left when they exit a cave.- In the 1960s, astronauts trained for moon voyages by walking on Hawaiian lava fields.- Lloyd's of London insured Bruce Springsteen's voice for 3.5 million English pounds.- Physician Amynthas of Alexandria, Greece, performed the first known nose job in the Third Century B.C.- Military toilet paper is printed in a camouflage design, since white could attract enemy fire.- Elvis Presley always wore a helmet when watching football on TV.- King Henry VIII's ladies at court had a ration of one gallon of beer per day.- It takes the energy from 50 leaves on an apple tree to produce one ripe fruit.- The only country to host the Summer Olympics but not win a single gold medal was Canada, in 1976.And that's just the beginning! So what are you waiting for? ATTACK!
