The Encyclopedia of Useless Information is a superbly satisfying compendium of weird factoids too interesting to be contained in your average reference volume. Daring to cross-reference the un-cross-reference-able, to alphabetize what cannot be alphabetized and to deliver the highest concentration of fun that can fit in a book spine, this information is too useless to waste. For example, did you know that in Denmark, pigs go "knor," and in Germany, horses go "prrrh?" And have you heard about the teacher from Italy that was disciplined in 1996 for passing students exam answers hidden in salami sandwiches? And...believe it or not, in Paris, in 1740, a cow was hanged in public following its conviction for sorcery! Discover what all the other encyclopedias are leaving out! Made in the USA.

Speaking to everyone from alternateens to hipster thirtysomethings with an irreverent retro-chic attitude, this book is for those looking to put an edge on the things that grandma used to make. Bazaar Bizarre offers smart, subversive inspiration unavailable from traditional crafting books and patterns, appealing not only to the nostalgia for folk expression of previous generations, but also to the popular DIY attitude of the young and stylish.

Amazon.com Coraline lives with her preoccupied parents in part of a huge old house--a house so huge that other people live in it, too... round, old former actresses Miss Spink and Miss Forcible and their aging Highland terriers ("We trod the boards, luvvy") and the mustachioed old man under the roof ("'The reason you cannot see the mouse circus,' said the man upstairs, 'is that the mice are not yet ready and rehearsed.'") Coraline contents herself for weeks with exploring the vast garden and grounds. But with a little rain she becomes bored--so bored that she begins to count everything blue (153), the windows (21), and the doors (14). And it is the 14th door that--sometimes blocked with a wall of bricks--opens up for Coraline into an entirely alternate universe. Now, if you're thinking fondly of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, you're on the wrong track. Neil Gaiman's Coraline is far darker, far stranger, playing on our deepest fears. And, like... See less

If you're serious about writing and speaking language that crackles with delightful and obscure words, then you must have this book. As indicated by the title, it is a selective thesaurus containing 50,000 words and phrases, focusing on the more arcane or colorful choices. The main weakness is lack of cross-referencing, but it is nonetheless a superlative supplement to standard thesauri or synonym dictionaries. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Library Journal Ehrlich, coeditor of the Oxford American Dictionary, here indulges his obvious love of uncommon words with a short list of terms paired with an idiosyncratic selection of synonyms. Containing fewer than 8000 entries and illustrated with amusing line drawings, it is a fun book to browse. A majority of the entries give only a single synonym, which could be found in a standard paperback thesaurus. While it is intriguing to scan the bizarre and unfamiliar synonyms chosen, the size and selectivity of this work limit... See less

Amazon.com An Excerpt from Bill Watterson's Introduction: "I’ve loved comic strips as long as I can remember. As a kid, I knew I wanted to be either a cartoonist or an astronaut. The latter was never much of a possibility, as I don’t even like riding in elevators. I kept my options open until seventh grade, but when I stopped understanding math and science, my choice was made. There is great personal satisfaction in attending to detail and quality, and I remain very proud of the standards the strip met day after day. I also liked the responsibility of knowing that, succeed or fail, it was all my own doing. This approach kept the strip very honest and personal--everything having to do with Calvin and Hobbes expressed my own ideas, my own values, my own way. I wrote every word, drew every line, and painted every color. It’s a rare gift to find such fulfilling work and I tried to show my appreciation by giving the strip everything I had to offer."

FIVE TIPS FOR MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR TOO-SMALL DORM ROOM Six out of 10 college students feel their college dorm room is uncomfortably small, according to dormbuys.com. The Web site surveyed nearly 450 college students to glean their tips for maximizing space. Here are their top five suggestions for uncramping the classic cinderblock box: 1. Loft your bed. Elevating the bed off the floor can free up the space beneath for other necessities. (Note: Not all colleges allow lofting, so check with your school first.) A second-best alternative is to bunk the dorm room beds. 2. Use a bed shelf. Shelves that attach to the post or rail of college beds eliminate the need for a space-reducing nightstand. 3. Stay organized. Plastic, mesh or wicker storage boxes can hold clothes, linens, DVDs, video games, books or shoes. Specially designed storage boxes that fit under the bed or in any size closet work best in small dorm rooms. 4. Buy small furniture. Large, bulky couches can cramp a room and make... See less
