Reminds me of my misspent high school days. Back in the 70's a friend of mine's father was a doctor who gave us some "study aids" when we had to stay up all night studying. I went over to my friend's house one day and he handed me a huge stack of hand written papers where he had listed all known brands of cigarettes by alphabatized name, then tar content, then nicotene content, then carbon monoxide content, then organized by package color and on and on. Took him 48 straight hours to do it.

I kinda figured out that he had taken a few too many "study aids". It was a pretty good undertaking considering there were no computers around and he had to get the information off the advertisements in magazines.
