Affenpinscher, malamute, schipperke, and puli? They're all dog breeds, specifically rat terriers. Anglerfish, Brolga cranes, wolves, and termites? They all mate for life. Pinatubo, Pelée, Etna, Kilauea? Active volcanoes. Blanco, resposado, anejo, mixto? Grades of tequila. From science and literature to pop culture, politics, and the arts, this book illuminates the connections--sometimes trivial but always enjoyable--among at first seemingly unrelated things. Along the way, you'll pick up conversational tidbits and fun factamazoids sure to inform and amuse.
