Lillian H. Smith Blog

I was looking for a magazine here at Lillian the other day when I stumbled upon Mental Floss.  I wasn't too familiar with this title but it caught my eye because John Hodgman was on the cover.  If that name doesn't ring a bell, he's on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart as one of their correspondents.  He was also the "PC", opposite Justin Long, in those "PC vs. Apple" ads that ran years ago.  It looked interesting so I picked it up to read during my dinner break.  I was pleasantly surprised.  It's full of random and interesting facts, presented in an entertaining way.  Its tagline is "Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix".  If you're the "trivial pursuit" kind of person or just enjoy intriguing facts, it's worth a look.  It has a bit of everything.  They also have a popular blog that is pretty much an extension of the magazine.  This has definitely been added to my magazine reading list.
