I love the "Book of Lists" which first came out in the mid-70s and included lists about everything including some naughty things that us junior HS kids found as an interesting read in the library.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Lists

Well they have a 2006 version which includes updates of some of the original lists from older versions. One list was about the 15 mothers of notorious people. The original list had excepts about the mothers of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Ghengis Khan and other deviant leaders throughout history.

So the updated list not only includes those original names but adds the names of the mothers for 3 other people: Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and.......George W. Bush.

I found a certain irony in that list
