Yeah, I like this one too. Occasionally it has some info I'm looking for (the names of the seven deadly sins, Asimov's laws of robotics, the chinese zodiac), but more often it has some piece of information that never in a million years would I imagine ever wanting to know (eg. the cause of death of some of the more famous kings of Burma).
