Description:

Some people -- like me -- enjoy reading books containing lists of peculiar or droll facts. Such books are arguably the precursor of much of the net. But if you find yourself away from your WWW browser, and feel the need to snarf oddities even when offline, you'll be glad to know there's a book in which you can learn that:

the average American's vocabulary contains 10,000 words
there are more than 40,000 characters in Chinese script
in downtown Lima, Peru, there is a brass statue of Winnie-the-Pooh

and, being a poet, my personal favorite from this book is that:

one can see the stars during the day from the bottom of a well.

Fascinating!
