1,001 Facts That Will Scare the S#*t Out of You: The Ultimate Bathroom Reader

by Cary McNeal

Book Overview

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.

Hilarious and scary at the same time

The author us hilarious he has a reply for everything...I couldn't quit laughing!!! I was grossed out when I found out about strawberry yogurt and wine !!! VERY VERY GOOD BOOK..HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!

Love the snarky commentary!

I've been a big fan of LOTD for awhile now, so knew I had to have this book, and I've been snickering, or just plain laughing out loud as I make my way through the book. Thanks for making me smile, Cary!

Witty Twisted Trivia (say that three times fast!)

Sure to make you laugh, this unique trivia book contains 1,001 scary, odd, revolting, and bizarre documented facts about the world. Along with each fact is a tidbit of humorous commentary from the author, Cary McNeal. McNeal's witty wisecracks will keep you chortling, snickering, and snorting to the very end of the book. His clever use of sarcasm, puns, put-downs, hyperbole, word play, extended gags, and outright silliness will entertain and amuse you. Those who are already fans of McNeal's writing won't be disappointed. Those unfamiliar with his caustic wit should visit his blog, List Of The Day, for further amusement.

This book works!

I've been reading it for days and not only does it work for what it promises, but the comments from the author are Cary McNeal at his best! (Good job C... now where's the $$$ you promised??)

Hilarious

A friend recommended that I buy this book. I checked out McNeal's blog before ordering the book. I immediately noticed the man is not right in the head, which is something I really respect in a writer. Now I own the book and will probably buy copies for my sick friends. It's worth the price. Even better than I anticipated.

Informative and Hilarious - plus a little scary

I've been an avid reader of Cary's McNeal's "List of the Day" blog for a while now. As soon as I saw this book on LOTD, I quickly ordered my own copy. This book is hilarious - yet informative. Cary has a witty one-liner (or two) about each fact, and I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud while reading. As a librarian, I appreciate how Cary listed the source for each fact, so the reader, if so inclined, could do additional research if he/she so desired. There are chapters such as food, bugs, and one of my favs, "weirdest of the weird." I'm very pleased with this book, and although I don't keep it in the bathroom, it has earned a place on my nightstand.
