Explore a variety of topical almanacs with information on sports, history & government, business, health & science and more.  The Information Please Alamanacs originated as a radio quiz show where the public would ask questions of a panel of experts.  Listeners wrote in questions on topics ranging from performing arts to natural history.   The show's creator later published a reference book with these answers and the Information Please Almanacs were born.  This site also features an online dictionary, thesaurus and encyclopedia.
