Guiness Book of World Records
This World Records book is the prime source of such top-ranked trivia, and this fancy edition for 2001 was no exception. It has a large, hardcover format, bright colors, numerous photos, and high quality printed job. The book is divided into color-coded sections such as crime, gadgets, spacecraft, weather, sports, and the ever-fascinating human body. It also contains everything from the bestselling hip-hop album (CrazySexyCool by TLC) to the rarest living creature (an Abingdon Island giant tortoise by the name of Lonesome George). Fun high-tech categories include most-visited Web sites (www. France98. Com), fastest-selling PC game (Myst), and fastest-spreading worm (the dreaded "I love you"). It showcasing some of mankind's proudest achievements, the two pages devoted to robots present us the slightly absurd "most cocktails mixed by a robot," accomplished by Cynthia and Rastus from Cynthia's Cyberbar, along with many more-practical successes.
