Other Item ID: #145Mental FlossProduct Information:
Item DescriptionFor the record : Mental Floss magazine is an intelligent read, but not too intelligent. We’re the sort of intelligent that you hang out with for a while, enjoy our company, laugh a little, smile a lot and then we part ways. Great times. And you only realize how much you learned from us after a little while. Like a couple days later when you’re impressing your friends with all these intriguing facts and things you picked up from us, and they ask you how you know so much, and you think back on that great afternoon you spent with us and you smile. And then you lie and say you read a lot. Item Reviews5 Responses to “Mental Floss”Leave a Reply |

I love this magazine, and so does everyone else in my family. It definitely gets passed around. I have given gift subscriptions of this magazine to a lot of people as well. And everyone loves it!
Don’t be fooled! Although it is educational, it is so fun to read that you forget that you might be learning something! And the great thing about this magazine is that you are learning things that you didn’t even know you wanted to learn about. I definitely find myself using facts and trivia from this magazine in my daily conversation. It also introduces you to subjects that you might want to learn more about, but didn’t know existed.
I can’t say enough about this magazine. If you can read, you will love it!!
I highly recommend the Mental Floss books as well. They make for great bathroom reading!
I subscribed to this magazine after having read one or two of the books that have been put out by mental_floss. This is possibly the best magazine I have ever subscribed to. For one thing, there are very few ads – which is excellent. The information they always have is fresh and interesting. If you like the Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader series of books, or love trivia, you will love this magazine. My only complaint is that it’s only six issues a year, because I can’t get enough of it. But clearly, it takes a lot of time to look up all this information!
I ordered a subscription for a co-worker as a gift. That was almost six months ago, and still no issues have arrived. Amazon told me the postal carrier must be stealing the issues. Since the mail carrier is my second grade teacher’s husband, I have a hard time swallowing such tripe.
I wouldn’t know how to rate this, as I have yet to receive the magazine. I cannot comprehend why delivery of a magazine takes 16 weeks. Thanks Amazon.
Mental Floss is a great way to astonish your friends with intellectual trivia. Its writing is witty, fresh, and often tongue-in-cheek. The writers have a knack for simplifying but not dumbing down their subject matter. I especially enjoy the seven degrees of separation column, which links two totally unrelated topics. My only complaint — wish they published more frequently!
