Single handedly (In my opinion) one of the greatest magazines ever to hit the mass market.
It's full of random and wonderfully written facts about things that probably never realised before.

This month's issue is the "Top Twenty Most Annoying People of All Time." Needless to say, it had me laughing in tears. Especially the dis on Pluto (You know, Mickey's dog?)
But it's pretty clear that Pluto's been getting the short end of the fetching stuck all these years. After first suffering though the indigity of being owned by a mouse

Yeah, Mental_Floss. One of the best mags in my opinion
www.mentalfloss.com

Also, I can't wait till their new book to come out Forbidden Knowledge: A wickedly smart guide to history's naughtiest bits.

My dad purchased a Mental Floss once. I skimmed through it and wasn't all that impressed, mainly because it just wasn't what I look for in a brain-exercising magazine. I could read this, or I could really learn a lot of really interesting, technical things by reading SciAm or go and work on other puzzles.

I'd rather read Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, sorry.

mental floss came out with a book recently, and that was fairly impressive and enjoyable to read.
