There sure are a lot of Top 10 lists out there, some of which are even non-pornographic.
What’s the deal with Top 10 lists becoming so popular over the past 4-5 years or so anyways? Is it a Web 2.0 thing? Time.com does a lot of them, Forbes.com too…when did older middle-aged guys steal one of the favourite pastimes of Generation Y? I don’t get it. But what I do get is how they are very, very good time killers.
During my tenure as “Supreme Interweb traveller” (which continues to this day), I’ve come across a few…nay, a shitload, of Top 10, 20, 50, 100 (whatevvs) lists that are pretty entertaining. There are literally thousands upon thousands of them out there, and there are a whole lot I have in the bank which I will include in future posts.
In any event, I present to you (in no particular order) a few of my fav Top [whatever] lists. PS. – I suggest you open the links in tabs if you plan on looking at more than one.
First, a bunch from Time Magazine.
They actually have a whole website dedicated to the “Top 10 Everything of 2008″.
Here’s a few that stick out.

And how could I talk about Top 10 lists without givin’ a shout out to ol’ Cracked.com, arguably the creators of some of the funniest Top 10 Lists on the interwebs?

I would have thought one list would have come from Toptenz.net?
