When I was a kid, I had a couple of books called The
Book of Lists
which was pretty much what the title says it was. The lists were
wonderful. I wish I could remember them better, but they included lots
of odd factoids and historical tidbits. (Oddest presidential
assassination attempts, that sort of thing.)
I've recently been informed of two websites that are also all about lists. They aren't nearly as informative, but I think I'll have a lot of fun with them too.
McSweeney's Lists
Sample list: "Alternatives to "Opening a Can o' Whupass" for the Less Confrontationally Inclined"
Sample item from list: "Unzipping a Fanny Pack o' Friendliness"
Merlin's Lists of Five Things
Sample list: "Five things it would probably be disingenuous for me to rap about"
Sample item from list: "my milkshake"
