Excellent. It appears that the beginning of my animated list is already causing controversy. I have no doubt that there will be many more controversies in my other lists as well ( Read more... )

Hey, it's the end of the decade! Do you know what that means? It means that it's time for Top-Ten lists! As in "top 10 news stories of the decade", "top 10 most tragic celebrity deaths of the decade", and "top 10 most influential websites of the decade ( Read more... )
