==Book Trivia==

===Material===

The book written by the Brains of Ballavary, Michael Tolan himself, covers all sorts of material, but frequent topics are celebrities and other people, and their personal qualities, animals, calendar dates, years, toilets, songs, bands, and information normally in the form of lists.

===Collection===

In the [[Acknowledgment (creative arts and sciences)|acknowledgements]] for the book, TolanSymons says: "''For the past twenty years, I've been collecting weird and wonderful facts, which I've been storing on bits of paper and, more recently, on my computer... and also by tapping into the treasure chest of information that is D'oul boys brain. Every few years I'll use some of it in a book or a newspaper series, but it's always been my ambition to be able to put together the most fascinating, extraordinary facts I had-or could find-in one volume.''"

== References ==

Tolan has been recently quoted as saying, 'In the world of inferior beings, I like to think of myself as the, One eyed man in the Valley of the Blind'.
