Fact: Chocolate contains the alkaloid theobromine, which in high doses can be toxic to humans, and in even small amounts can kill dogs, parrots, horses, and cats.
This means that despite its name, the Kit-Kat candy bar is not a recommended snack for your kitty-cat. I wonder how many cats have died because of this confusion.

Fact: The most germ-laden place on your toilet isn't the seat or even the bowl:
It's the handle.
The solution: Don't flush. Let the next guy worry about it.

There are "just the facts"--and then there are just the facts that will frighten the bejeezus out of you. And thanks to this little gem of a bathroom book, you'll never look at the world the same way again, without, er, dry heaving a little bit.

From the sneaky fish that can swim up our genitals to the e coli bacteria lurking in the very water we drink, disturbing phenomena are everywhere we turn. Educational, entertaining, and undeniably horrifying, this book isn't guaranteed to help you, um, go to the bathroom, but it's certain to make your time there more . . . informed.

This is a simple, no-frills electronic practice workbook. Each flashcard consists of 5 multiplication facts, followed by a page of answers. They work just like ordinary, handheld flashcards, except that you read these modern flashcards in an eBook. The first 20 pages begin with just the numbers 0 thru 5 to help students develop fluency with the lower numbers first. Every 20 pages, a higher number is introduced until all of the numbers 0 thru 12 are used. Halfway through this eBook, the numbers 0 and 1 will stop appearing, as they become too easy. The facts are randomly organized, so you can’t simply guess the next answer based on a simple pattern – instead, you must memorize the facts, which is the goal of the workbook.

You’re in control of this electronic workbook. If the flashcards are too easy, skip ahead: As you go further ahead, there are more high numbers, and once you get halfway through, there are no more 0’s or 1’s. If the flashcards are too hard, go back to an earlier portion of this eBook, where the numbers are all lower. This way, you can suit the level of difficulty to your own individual needs and ability.

There are 800 pages: 400 flashcards, 400 answer pages. The answers come immediately after each flashcard. There are 2000 multiplication facts all together – plenty of practice to develop fluency (and you could always go back and repeat any portions that you want).
