It’s the end of 2006 and it seems everyone is doing lists of what was memorable in 2006. We won’t exempt ourselves!

What are your favorite five items of 2006? They can be movies, political events, music, completely personal, books, sports, or anything you want.

The Worst Roads in the World

Here’s a listing of some of the worst roads in the world, including pictures. Oddly the “most dangerous road” we had previously posted isn’t located in Boivia, but rather in China. That doesn’t make it any less dangerous or interesting, though.

Chicken or Egg

I’m not sure how I missed this news back in May, 2006. After all it only answers one of the most pressing questions fifth graders face in their daily lives.

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

It turns out it was the egg. Hurray for eggs!

Top Five: Best Cage Matches

I was going to put up a top five musical headlines, but the commentary getting there led to this hypothetical … much better.

CAGE MATCH. Take two figures from history (any time, any period), and put them in a No Holds Barred Cage fight.

1. Sampson (with hair) vs. Hercules
2. Alexander (the Great) vs. Julius Ceasar
3. Hitler vs. Napoleon
4. Emperor Constantine vs. Osama bin Laden
5. Winston Churchill vs. Teddy Roosevelt
(HM) FDR vs. Timmy
(HM) Mozart vs. Beethoven

6. Alien vs. Predator (ooops…sorry, it was already done, and apparently it sucked. Scratch them off my list).

I’ve got plenty of others … I actually sense an actual post in this, but I’ll leave it here for now.

Screwing America

You know, there are tons of fetishes out there and far be it for me to judge any of them. However, the idea of there being a fetish for screwing America is both funny and sad at the same time, and totally unerotic.

Bosnia’s Got Pyramids!

Or do they?

The Register has an interesting article examining this assertion, along with links to the sites that purport to support the “evidence,” but in perfect Reg style, they have their own more rational take on it. Interesting reads all around.

Jackass

Love them or hate them, this is pretty funny. Pay close attention to wee-man after Preston falls in.
