It seems that books of completely unrelated facts are the new trend in reference books. Like Schott's Miscellany, The Uncyclopedia is a compendium of irreverent facts that any trivia hound will love. However, a lot of the facts found in one can be found in the other. While the similarities are many (such as an incredibly long list of the numbers of "pi" and lists of prizes and geographical features), The Uncyclopedia offers readers many unique and intresting facts. A very fun read and very informative.
