Uncle John's Great Big Australian Bathroom Reader by Bathroom Readers' Institute (2002-08-02) [Paperback]

A 576-page compendium of Australian trivia, oddities, and pop culture designed specifically for reading in short bursts. The Bathroom Readers' Institute has compiled everything from bizarre news stories and historical footnotes to slang dictionaries and "dumb criminal" tales — all with an Aussie twist. You'll find sections on everything from the country's weirdest laws to its most memorable sporting moments, celebrity gossip, and the kind of random facts that make you look up from the page and say "seriously?" It's irreverent, entertaining, and packed with the sort of useless-but-fascinating knowledge that makes you insufferable at dinner parties. Perfect for casual browsing, whether you're actually in the bathroom or just pretending to care about productivity. If you've ever wanted to know why Australians call a certain type of person a "bogan" or what happened during the Great Emu War of 1932, this is your book.
