Lists Galore!
Anyone who knows me knows why this instantly struck a chord. The Book of Lists. It almost doesn’t need explaining. Better still, lots of these lists are excerpted for your/my immense enjoyment. Here are some of the list topics:
- 16 Cases of People Killed by God (includes their “transgression” ie “land fraud”)
- 23 Obscure and Obsolete Words (9. GROAK: To watch people silently while they are eating, hoping they will ask you to join them.)
- 10 Nations With the Most Camels (Total World Camel Population: 19,074,168)
- 5 Body Parts Named After Italians (Think Fallopian Tubes.)
- 8 Unlikely How-To Books (ex. How to Rob Banks Without Violence)
- 10 Largest Arms Exporters (Believe it or not Netherlands ranks)
