It’s time for another whimsical Tuesday Turnip search wherein I type a random phrase and we see what kind of interesting factoids “turn-up.”

I must admit upfront here that today’s entry isn’t the usual random Google search. Today, I was on a mission to see what other groups/orgs/people/companies/things are out there on the Web that go by the name MentalFloss. Seems we’re in some pretty nifty company! Check it:

1. A comedy troupe:

Laughing Gas was founded in 1992 by several former cast members of Miami’s first improv troupe, Mental Floss, which performed from 1986-1992.

2. There’s also a D.J. named mentalfloss. And he has a bunch of mixes on his site, too. Take a listen.

3. Meet the artist known as Mentalfloss.

4. Turns out, there’s also a Wedding/Cover band called MentalFloss.

5. And here’s Mentalfloss, the music connoisseur.

If you know of any others we can add to this post, by all means, get thee to the comments already.

  4. I also heard there’s also a semi-obscure trivia magazine by that title. I think they have t-shirts, too. Maybe a website…
