TOP FIVE

[garote]

Okay, so, this is not news to anyone, but lately I've been thinking about how any random collection of words suddenly becomes intriguing if you stick it in the context of a top five list.

Here are a few random examples. Notice how you suddenly wish they were all links you could follow.

THE TOP FIVE MOST EXTREME [FART WHISTLES]
THE TOP FIVE MOST INTERESTING [CANNON TWERKS]
THE TOP FIVE [ANTI-POACHING STATUTES]
JUDGES HAVE RULED ON THE TOP FIVE [SHEEP EARPHONES] AND THE RESULTS ARE SURPRISING
THE FIVE BEST [MORAL FAILURES] FOR YOUR MONEY
THE TOP FIVE [MISQUOTED SAMURAI] OF THE PAST DECADE
FIVE OF THE MOST AMAZING [SNOW TOASTERS] YOU'LL SEE TODAY
FIVE OF THE TOP [SKUNK ACCIDENTS] IN MOVIES

I feel compelled to actually compile these lists even as I'm writing down the names. Anybody care to tackle one?

This is called a pseudo-information, of course, but who notices.
