What am I Infatuated With this Week?

The World Almanac and Book of Facts, of course! 2008, 140th ed.

THE ready-reference book to have with you on a deserted island. Includes lots and lots of statistics and information on a broad range of topics: economy, business, energy, crime, military affairs, personalities, arts, media, sci & tech, consumer info, US gov't, US facts, history and elections, world history and culture, and sports. Who surpassed Hank Aaron's home run record in 2007? Which state produced the most corn in 2007?

An endless source of entertainment and trivia. Love it. Want the 2008 ed. (hint, hint) Will settle for 2009 in 2010.

Funny... they left out the part about steroids. But you are correct! It was Barry Bonds!
