As a kid, your correspondent’s favorite book was The Book of Lists.
Inside: semi-useful facts (“Maximum Recorded Lifespan of 58 Animals”), lessons in wordplay (“9 Disparaging Sobriquets”) and naughty historical trivia (“Famous People Who Died During Sexual Intercourse”).
With that spirit in mind, and as 2014 ends, let’s celebrate with a list.
A list of lists.
Herein: InsideHook’s First Annual Best List of Lists.
Chock full of the year’s best (and worst) of everything.
