Fascinating!

If you, like me, flip right to the end of Harper's each month, then this book is for you. Full of fascinating statistics (ratio of Japan's robot populatyion to that of the US's is 4:1), this stuff's not only illuminating, but it will also help you out when you make speeches for instance. Or have a paper to write.Or do you just want to be entertained? Here are a few gems:Did you know that R-rated movies have more violence than X-rated?Did you know that the Soviet Union had 100 times more movie theaters than the US in 1990? (Geez, I can't imagine how bad their films must have been though!)
