Excerpts from `The Best of the World's Worst'

Here are some of the world's "worsts," excerpted from "The Best of the World's Worst" by Stan Lee (General Publishing Group, $10).

That's right, the same Stan Lee that brought us Spiderman, the Fantastic Four and Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos.

The worst name for an artist: Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz Y Picasso or Pablo Picasso, for short.

The worst place to find a phone: The country of Chad in Africa has only one telephone per 1,673 people.

The worst nightclub: If you judge the quality of a nightclub by the number of police raids under its belt, then The Outer Limits is the place for you. By August of 1971, the club, opposite the Cow Palace in San Francisco, had been busted for the 150th time.

The worst way to stop a puck: From 1946 to 1971, Gordie Howe skated for the same hockey team, the Detroit Red Wings. Among the records he amassed during the 1,687 games in which he played, Howe received 500 stitches in his face.
