Listropolis


Sorry, Coldplay fans: Chris Martin is one of the biggest wusses in rock history. But don’t take our word for it — visit Listropolis and see for yourself.

The website points you toward useful and entertaining lists from all around the Web: “50 Great Photoshop Tutorials for Clever Beginners,” “The 10 Worst Places to Get Caught Having Sex” (No. 1? Train tracks). You’ll also discover “9 Foolproof Tips Anyone Can Do to Train a Stubborn Dog,” see seven of the earth’s “Big-Ass Holes” (not a list of politicians but a list of actual holes, like the Siberian diamond mine that’s swallowed a helicopter or two). You may not find Santa’s to-do list from last week, but you will stumble across rankings that will amuse, enrage, and engage you well into the coming year.

Forward to a friend
