We’ve started a photo pool on Flickr, The Traveling PDG. The point is to travel to weird places and take your PDG book with you… and put it in a photograph! And then post it!
The PDG booklet is a small bible that fits in, of course, your shirt pocket. It contains all manner of useful information if you are a particle physicist: particle masses, branching fractions, etc.
