What does Greece (the country) have to do with Grease, the movie? And what does Grease, the movie, have to do with greasy food? Plenty, if you ask the folks at mental_floss. Based on the magazine's "Scatterbrained" section, the mental_floss gang here sets out to connect the entire world through the juiciest fun facts they could find, and somehow manage to link puppies to Stalin, Humpty Dumpty to Elizabeth Taylor, the Hundred Years' War to 8 Minute Abs, and even Schoolhouse Rock to Abstract Expressionism. "A lot like that professor of yours who peppered his tests with raunchy jokes: [this book] makes learning fun."—Newsweek
