We all love a good list; it’s a quick, easy, and convenient way to organize information without starting every other paragraph with “Oh, and ALSO…”

But they need to be interesting, especially in this age of endless information bombarding you from all directions, plus a few more that haven’t been discovered yet.  With thousands of blogs, articles, columns, and message board threads devoted to listing everything under the sun, you need to find a topic that will stand out in the crowd.  Objective or not, funny or not, the point is to be intriguing and original.
In short, don’t write any of the following.  Just, don’t.  Thousands of people have already beaten you to these subjects, and you are all but guaranteed to surprise nobody and bore everybody.
