Trivial pursuit part deux Last year A.J. Jacobs, the hilarious writer from Esquire Magazine, gave us The Know-it-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World in which he spent a year reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica. Now for his follow up, the New York Post reports, Jacobs (a descendant of the Vilna Gaon) will write what it's like to follow all the rules in the Bible for one year. "It's not just the 10 Commandments - that's easy," Jacobs said. With about 613 rules in the Good Book, Jacobs has his work cut out for him. "The stoning will be the toughest thing, what with the pesky assault laws in the United States," Jacobs joked. "My wife is also very upset about the requirement that I wear a 3-foot-long beard."
