The Book of Incredible Information

Summary: All kinds of random information you never needed to know, on a whole variety of subjects. And a surprising amount of random information about Canada.

Comments: This was fun to read. I came across a number of amusing facts. Apparently "E plurbis unum" was first used to describe salad dressing. Every page or pair of pages is a new topic, so this book is very much about breadth of knowledge, if knowledge is the right word for it. And every so often, the topic has something to do with Canada: famous Canadian entertainers, the history of the Mounties, etc. Rather amusing, I though.
