The bathroom read to end all bathroom reads!

What does Greece (the country) have to do with Grease (the movie) And what does Grease (the movie) have to do with greasy food Plenty, if you ask the folks at mental_floss.

Based on the magazine's "Scatterbrained" section, the mental_floss gang has taken on the Mount Everest of trivia challenges: connecting the entire world through the juiciest facts they could find. How do you get from Puppies to Stalin; from Humpty Dumpty to Elizabeth Taylor; from the Hundred Years' War to 8 Minute Abs; or even from Schoolhouse Rock to Abstract Expressionism You'll just have to open up the book to find out.

Will Pearson and Mangesh Hattikudur met at Duke University as first-year students. Despite the temptations of law school and investment banking, the two co-founded mental_floss and have been smiling ever since. Maggie Koerth-Baker is a freelance journalist and former assistant editor at mental_floss magazine, where she dazzled Will and Mangesh with her brilliance.
