The List of Lists is Growing

Every year for several years now this guy has put together a list of best of the year lists. He does a good job and you can watch it build here. I don't know what it is about lists that we like so much. Is it our need to make order out of chaos? Is it our need to follow authority? Is it our need to find ways to keep ourselves occupied so we don't step in front of a moving train?

Something I may yet just might say at work someday

"Excuse me, sir. That position for which you are applying requires five years experience and a masters degree. You are wearing one sock and you smell like old newspapers..."
