Bill McLain

from the convention; questions that were posed to the Xerox webmaster. Personally, I wouldn't think of using the Xerox webmaster as an "ask Jeeves" type of resource, but apparently a lot of people did. He answers the primary question, then adds in tidbits and factoids that relate overall to the subject matter. Some of it is dated, so don't expect the URLs included to be really the best way anymore. Overall, enjoyable and a fair amount of cross subject matter with the Imponderables book. Now show more off to the Things bookbox. show less

Awesome book if you like trivia! Bill McLain answers and elaborates on all kinds of random questions (for whatever reason people decided to ask him), and ends up with a lot of interesting information on various subjects.

I like the additional information beyond the answer to the question for that specific topic and the links to where more facts can be found on each subject.
