Oh, my gosh. Hand over those lists and let's discover who wears Dr. Dentons and whether Paris and Britney have secret bilious moments. Maybe Drudge knows. Or Guinness.
What? Those are fake lists? Say it isn't so.
Alas, we confess, they are indeed fake compilations produced solely for amusement purposes. No parrots or area rugs were harmed in the process. But they could be real. There is a list for the top 10, top 20 and top 100 of anything and seemingly everything on the planet.

Want to put together an insider's rating for refrigerator magnets? It's been done. Hope to assemble the all-time most intriguing items that ever appeared on a grocery list? That's been done, too. In fact, it's a 240-page book.
"Milk Eggs Vodka," by Bill Keaggy will be published by HOW Books in a few months, based around the author's collection of grocery lists he found abandoned in carts, blowing around in the Safeway parking lot or flapping feebly in the gutter. The enterprising Mr. Keaggy has assembled and organized 1,300 of these lists to reveal that a surprising percentage of Americans do not know how to spell mayonnaise, banana, anchovy and yogurt.
His Web site (www.grocery lists.org) displays hundreds of the long-lost lists, and Mr. Keaggy says he is always looking for more.
