Mental Floss
I absolutely love this magazine and I am no brain. The things( articles, etc.) are challenging and yet still not so hard that you can't get it done. I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a challenge - light hearted or serious - and you learn from the articles - makes you want to look up the info, if you don't know it.

So Mental Floss was a mag that I stumbled upon awhile back in a store and was blown away. This was a magazine that seemed to be tailor-made for me.

I am a huge trivia buff as well as a fan of geeky humor and this magazie incorporated both of these passions as well as a great articles into a nice package. My only dislike is that it only comes out once every two months. I want a new issue every month dangit!

I know it a bit pricey for the subscription for only 6 issues, but if you are into reading, news, and fun facts, this is a great magazine. If you are a fan of "The Intellectual Devotional" books, this is the mag for you.

I ordered a subscription to "Mental Floss" for my grandson, age 19, for the second year. He loves it! He's an avid reader, interested in facts and unusual material. It's a great gift that "KEEPS ON GIVING".

Mental Floss is a great alternative to leisure magazines. It is a great way to have fun and keep your mind working at the same time. My teenager son and his friends love to read this magazine. Once you read this magazine once, you will be hooked!

I think of this magazine as quintessential bathroom reading. It's also great to keep with you when you have a few moments to spare. There are always interesting and fun articles and facts. There is something for everyone in this quirky great read.
