1,001 Facts that Will Scare the S#*t Out of You: The Ultimate Bathroom Reader /by Cary McNeal. 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 isnt the seat or even the bowl:
Its the handle.
The solution: Dont flush. Let the next guy worry about it.
There are-just the facts-and then there are just the facts that will frighten the bejeezus out of you. And thanks to this little gem of a bathroom book, youll never look at the world the same way again, without, er, dry heaving a little bit.
From the sneaky fish that can swim up our genitals to the e coli bacteria lurking in the very water we drink, disturbing phenomena are everywhere we turn. Educational, entertaining, and undeniably horrifying, this book isnt guaranteed to help you, um, go to the bathroom, but its certain to make your time there more . . . informed.

How To Make People Like You In 90 Seconds Or Less

How To Make People Like You In 90 Seconds Or Less (2008)

The average person's attention span lasts about 30 seconds. That means first and immediate impressions count, and big. In this modern-day update of Dale Carnegie's classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, former fashion photographer Nicholas Boothman instructs you in how to mold those 30 seconds to your greatest advantage and connect with others at business and social functions.

Boothman, now a lecturer and licensed master practitioner of neurolinguistic programming (the art and science of how the brain affects human connections), says that the key to making others like you quickly lies in establishing a rapport: you have to find out what you have in common or, if you seemingly have nothing in common, purposely try to become like the other person for a short time. He then goes on to offer simple techniques for getting a rapport going: adopt a positive attitude; make sure your words, tone, and gestures are all saying the same thing; synchronize your attitude and body movements to those of another person's (which makes the person feel comfortable with you--although he or she may not know why); and ask lots of open-ended questions. Boothman also describes how to figure out a stranger's favored sense for receiving information about the world--some rely on visual cues, others on auditory or kinesthetic (touch) input--and use it to your best advantage.
