If you've ever wondered which Major League team has the longest consecutive streak of attracting at least 1,000,000 people per year at home, (the Dodgers) this book is for you. Or if you want to know how many soldiers were killed in Korea or who consumes mor vitamins, men or women, this book is for you. As a matter of fact, if you want to know any arcane nugget of information, this book is for you. What the authors have done is put together the most interesting compendium of esoteric material it has ever been this reviewer's good fortune to come across. In its nearly 500 pages, you'll learn all about sex, sports, autos, Broadway, movies, and dating. You'll also find out that North Dakota has the lowest incarceration rate in the country at 75 prisoners per 100,000 population. Wash., D.C. is first with 1,578 per 100,000. But you already knew that! Wow your co-workers, amaze your children, annoy your friends! Buy this book and get a leg up on everybody.
