From the worldwide leader in strange-but-true stories comes a fascinating book full of the marvels of mechanical men, glimpses into tomorrow’s technology . . . and what happens when machines go mad. It’s a robot invasion!

For more than 25 years, the writers at the Bathroom Readers’

Institute have had a soft spot in their hearts for all things robotic.

From the promise of artificial intelligence making the world a

better place to the threat of an android apocalypse, we never get

tired of reading about robots. They perform surgery, traverse

the surface of Mars, and even cook a perfect steak . . . until they

malfunction and chase after their human creators. Uncle John’s

Robotica will stimulate your humor sensors with hundreds of

incredible stories about robots from the past, the present . . . and

the future. Prepare to be assimilated as you read about . . .

• Robotic suits . . . controlled by monkeys

• The robot that can rebuild itself

• The world’s first robot

• Pop-culture robots (such as the mecha-Michael Jackson with

laser-shooting eyes)

• Microscopic nanobots that heal you before you know you’re sick

• Garbage-eating robots

• What are the actual chances of a Terminator-style robot war?

And much, much more!

From the world leader in fascinating facts and amusing true stories comes a book full of tales of health care gone wrong. It’ll make you sick (with laughter).

For more than 25 years, there’s always been a home at Uncle

John’s Bathroom Reader for those stories about doctor visits

or routine surgeries gone horribly wrong—the wrong limb

getting amputated, the wrong person getting a transplant, the

nurse who didn’t notice her patient had died . . . for three days.

Because we never get tired of reading about big boo-boos (as

long as they’re happening to someone else), here is a whole book

of the troubling and funny stories of when good health care goes

bad. Read all about . . .

• The man who needed his appendix out . . . so he removed it

himself

• The nurse who threw out a perfectly good kidney

• The heart surgeon who got caught drawing his signature on

his work

And many more stories of dreadful doctors, hospital horrors,

and bad medicine.
