This is a lot of two books: Book of Secrets and Sh*t Happens.
Book of Secrets:
Did you know there's a secret daily flight from the United States to Cuba? Or, that in 1966, the U.S. government smashed a bacteria-laden light bulb inside the New York subway system?
Thomas Eaton's Book of Secrets reveals hundreds of clandestine, covert, surreptitious, furtive, hush-hush, and taboo pop-cultural and historical curiosities, from government cover-ups to marketing tricks to Colonel Sander's secret recipe.
Practical secrets are also revealed, such as how to obtain a flight upgrade, speak in public, or win friends and influence people. Production features include a Kivar cover with rounded corners and foil stamping.
Book of Secrets is 151 pages long and measures approximately 3 1/2 X 3 3/4 inches. ISBN-10 : 0740777548
ISBN-13 : 978-0740777547
Sh*t Happens: The Book: Somewhere, Someone is Having a Worse Day Than You: Regrettable Realities That Really Happened to Unlucky Chumps the World
The lure of the morbid. The fascination of really bad news. The strange thrill of things going spectacularly wrong. Tragic, sensational, spine-chilling, and addictively entertaining, it’s The Darwin Awards meets The Stupidest Things Ever Said. In story after story we meet the star-crossed, the extremely unlucky, and the fatally foolish. Sure—it’s grim, sometimes ghastly. But isn’t it nice to know that someone, somewhere, had a worse day than you?
Sh*t happens.
Sometimes it’s natural: A driver goes for the ride of his life when a 100-mph gust blows his truck off the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in New York. (He survives the steep plunge into the Hudson River.
Sometimes it’s supernatural: The woman who peels an artichoke only to have it explode in her hand.
Short-sighted: A rattlesnake owner kisses his beloved pet, and discovers that the affection isn’t mutual.
Delightful: A tanker truck carrying liquid chocolate splits open in a traffic accident, drawing children from miles around.
Unexpected: A folding bed traps and nearly kills a man.
Heartbreaking: Art restorers accidentally dissolve the ink off a newly discovered Da Vinci drawing.
Gross: From the brain of a man complaining of mental instability, doctors remove a four-inch worm.
And grosser: A diner discovers—in the most revolting way possible—a rodent along with his fried chicken.
And even, seemingly, cosmic justice: An incensed homeowner catches a mouse and decides to teach it a lesson by tying a kerosene-soaked rag to its tail and setting it on fire. The mouse flees; the man’s house burns down.
Sh*t Happens is 325 pages and measures approximately 4 X 6 inches. ISBN-10 : 0761144366
ISBN-13 : 978-0761144366
