Then, turn the page to discover the connection! Adding to the trivia collectors' enjoyment are Oliver's Factamazoids, text boxes that further elaborate upon a fascinating aspect of the topic. And for true trivia wizards, Oliver has added SuperConnecter sidebars pose truly diabolical connection quizzes.
