Talk:Uncle John's Bathroom Reader

Competitors?

It says on the wiki page that there were several competitors. Can you please explain the kinds of books that would be competitors with the BR? Would you mean things like The Big Book of Useless Information (for example)? --Joshua H-Star-R (talk) 11:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, the only one I can think of is The Bathroom Reader Hysterical Society, which is a part of the BRI. I don't really think things like The Big Book of Useless Information are competitors, per se. 71.7.227.168 (talk) 21:11, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the article refers more to books like W.C. Privy's Bathroom Companion (title something to that effect). It's basically the same idea as the bathroom reader books, with a similar toilet theme. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Addition of the All the Bathroom Readers

In the article there is a list of the classical Bathroom Readers and a list of the omnibuses, should we add all the books that the BRI has made? It would sort of look like this: [1]. (All of BRI books here:[2]).The Offer Point (talk) 02:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I think we should add them for sure, I mean, this is about the series and we only have the core list? Top result on google does better than this article.

"running feet" example

Can we pick an example that is not grossly incorrect? The surface gravity ratio between Jupiter and Pluto is 40, not 144,000. What they give is the mass ratio. That would be the weight ratio at equal radius - but at one Jupiter radius you are far away from Pluto. --mfb (talk) 23:53, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
