I need every single one of those books.

I really, really, really, really, really don't want to know what "Electricity In Gynecology" involves. Same thing with "Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality".

Re: Absurd and Humorous Websites
OK. I...I can't even understand some of these. Like this one. How is it possible that "one" of Patron Silver costs $7,158? And "one" Bailey's is $1,720? I know you pay a little markup at a restaurant or whatever, but is that even possible? Or is it saying one thousand? Is this the receipt from a wedding or something? Or maybe this is from someplace that uses dollars but there's some crazy inflation situation and it's like lire? If it IS for "one" of each of those, I just...I don't even have the words. I'm going to start formulating some kind of reverse-Modest Proposal situation. Because this is the definition of I Can't Even.

Yeah, I vote for "English-speaking country that has currency running at a 200:1 ratio (give or take) with the US."
ETA: Bingo, it's Jamaica! I googled "17.5% GCT" and up popped a bunch of links to Jamaica's General Consumption Tax. Their currency is $89.17 Jamaican for each US dollar right now. (My guess about the ratio above was off by a lot; I think tequila must cost a ton there for some reason?)
That is still nearly $500US for alcohol, though. Wow.

Your Three Year Old: Friend or Enemy . A-duh, enemy. Also, How to Make Love While Conscious is this a problem for many people?

"How to Avoid Huge Ships" and "Teach Your Wife to Be a Widow" are both sold out. Harrumph.

My whole family is getting a lot of amusement out of the book titles right now.

It's like if J.K. Rowling started inventing non-wizarding book titles.
Thanks for this!
Wow. It's amazing to be reminded of the days before tumblr, reddit and buzzfeed, etc. The dedication to these crazy topics people had to have to get a book put together and published!? I often have ideas for a creative way-out there dedicated tumblr, but OMG it would be too much work for me, haha.

I'm assuming How To Avoid Huge Ships was aimed at the iceberg reader.

Re: Absurd and Humorous Websites
Bwah! They've got Giraffes? Giraffes! on the list! They don't seem to know it's a humor book by Dave Eggers. I mean...I've given away like four copies of that book. Which makes me wonder how many of the other are actually humor books.
I love the fact that there are two books about smocks on that list, by two different authors.

"Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality" is a book of humorous essays reprinted from a fake psychology journal called the "Journal of Polymorphous Perversity". It's not meant to be taken seriously. Whomever put that in the Tumblr never took the time to find out what this book actually was.

Re: Absurd and Humorous Websites
It's not a tumblr, and also it just says it's a listing of "bizarre, odd and downright weird" books, which category that book definitely falls under. It doesn't say anything about the books being sincere, just odd. (That journal reminds me of the more general "Journal of Irreproducible Results," which has a compendium that would also fit nicely on there.)

There used to be the Not in WorldCat Blog, but it looks like they're stopped updating.

Oh god, Dog Shaming is killing me today. Pictures of naughty pooches with signs confessing their misdeeds to an unforgiving - or possibly just sniggering - world.

The Amazon customer reviews for the 55-gallon barrel of Passion Natural Water-Based Lube are hilarious!
"Prison life has never been more enjoyable!" Hee!

These are good.
As a Fertility Specialist for Pachyderms, this was exactly what we needed to help rebuild elephant populations all over sub-saharan africa. It's not all just Medications and IVF treatments. Some times you need a loudspeaker, a Barry White CD and a 55 Gallon drum of Lube.

Speaking of Amazon reviews, some wannabe supervillians review uranium ore.

Cleo linked this on Twitter and it's way WAY too good not to share over here: a soldier and his squirrel. THE BERET BED, PEOPLE.
