Line 3:
''[[Complete World Knowledge]]'' is a critically-acclaimed series of fake almanacks written by John Hodgman ([[Hey, It's That Guy!|aka the PC in the "Mac vs. PC" commercials]]). They include:
* ''[[The Areas of My Expertise]]'' - Primarily a parody of ''[[Poor Richard's Almanack]]''. It deals largely with hoboes.
* ''[[More Information Than You Require]]'' - Primarily a parody of ''The Book of Lists''. It deals largely with mole-men and presidents of the United States.
* ''[[That Is All]]'' - The conclusion of the trilogy. It deals largely with [[The End of the World as We Know It|Ragnarok]], [[Earthshattering Kaboom|the coming global superapocalypse]], and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|sports]].
Known for their absurdist sense of humour, bizarre running jokes and high degree of cohesion between volumes, absolutely deadpan writing style, and sheer breadth of subject matter, ranging from cheese to axolotls to aliens to hoboes to mole-men to celebrity status to zeppelins to lobsters to ancient and unspeakable ones.
