THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS IS UP YOUR ASS

At last, we have a new champion in the unofficial Curious Times Weirdest Frickin’ Book on Earth competition! Leave it to the Japanese, of course, to win this category, with Hiroyuki Nishigaki’s "How to Good-Bye Depression: If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday? Malarkey? Or Effective Way?" I shit you not. This is the actual title of an actual book which you can actually order at Amazon.com. There are even a few customer reviews, including this nugget: "This book is better than lithium. I was depressed for years until I came across Mr. Nishigaki and his incredible anus book. I was skeptical at first, but after only a week of the recommended anus exercises, I could feel my spirits lifting...whenever I get down or feel as though I might need to abuse myself, I simply stop, concentrate on crushing the imaginary walnut in my anus and-BLAMMO!-all depressing and/or criminal thoughts are gone in a single squeaky fart."
