Warning: brain dump ahead. Unless you are keen on losing 20 points on your IQ score, please shut your eyes now.

YES, NOW!!

You were warned…

  1. Top 10 lists usually have one thing in common: 10 list items.
  2. 68.6% of top 10 lists have the words "you should know" in the title of the list, even though it's superfluous.
  3. 56% of top 10 lists usually have random stats thrown out (97.85% of which are pure guesswork/false).
  4. Most top 10 lists have the word "top 10" in the title. No top 10 list usually begins with "bottom 10" unless it happens to be this one.
  5. People who write top 10 lists try to wring out 10 points out of a subject to write about even if they don't have 10 points to say.
  6. They usually split one point into many to make up the numbers.
  7. Writing a bottom 10 list about a top 10 list is ironical, but nevertheless a subtly clever attempt at humour (in case you haven't got it yet).
  8. A bottom 10 list usually lies about having 10 items ( :razz: ) especially *this* bottom 10 list.
  9. The above point was about a bottom 10 list and not about a top 10 list therefore making this list self-referential.

Now go and wash your eyes… :twisted:
