  5. Michele, where do you find these? All I can say is this is one book (thank God) the library doesn't have. I might be tempted :)

  6. For what it's worth, I time-wasted an entire afternoon some months back on Amazon and bookmarked a couple dozen that made me laugh.

    I also get some great recommendations from readers (how cool is it when others do my work for me?).

  7. Sandy - LOL....last night my toddler son ran through the living room and I got a strong whiff of something in the pants. I asked him, "Did you poop?" He replied, "It's okay, mom, it was just a vewy big toot."

  9. Great way to get kids to learn history. From what I remember, Ben F said lots of stuff not covered in school!

  10. Rick Riordan talked about Franklin's fart letters in the first book in the 39 Clues series A Maze of Bones. Too bad Amazon doesn't let you search inside this book :(
