A List of Lists?

I love sporcle.com. If you are unfamiliar with this page, let me apologize in advance for the hours of your life you'll never get back once you click that link. It is a website of quiz games in the format of lists. For example, one quiz may be to list all the countries in Africa, another may be to list all the films that Adam Sandler has been in, another might be to identify a number of famous foursomes. This is addictive as all hell, especially if you are me and your brain already works this way. Here are some quizzes they have not yet made (and likely never will):

  • List all the ingredients in a bag of Skittles candy
  • Can you recognize the 18th century aristocracy based on these zoomed-in chins?
  • World's biggest assholes (figurative meaning), 1401-2001
  • World's biggest assholes (literal meaning), 1401-2001
  • Most popular names for livestock, 1994
  • Dinosaurs by weight of heaviest known femur bone (kg)
  • Least used three-digit numbers of all time
  • How many Saltine crackers can these celebrities eat in six minutes?
  • Name the musical artists or bands based on the number of times the word "and" has appeared in their songs
  • Guess the video game console based on estimated percentage of players who are virgins over age 25 (at time of console's release)
  • Reddest colors
  • Most popular onomatopoeias for flatulence, 2002
  • Name the leap years in the 20th century
  • Least flattering camera angles of all time
  • Most popular interests/hobbies for individuals with a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome in the USA, 2007
  • Top ten most Canadian countries
  • Identify the letters (Y, M, C, or A) represented by the following costumed men in poses
  • Individuals residing in Heaven according to Rev. Fred Phelps
  • World's tastiest salamis, 1962
  • Quizzes that will never appear on Sporcle as documented by "Shorts Below Freezing"

How about Favorite colors of Blind people?

Or Silent Film Stars with speech impediments?

The post I'm working on right now currently starts with the sentence "I'm obsessed with sporcle.com." Interesting coincidence. Guess I'll have to re-work it so I don't look like a copycat.

Uuuugh I hate you, Matt. And, yes, I do know hate is a powerful word.

Caroline, good suggestions! Julia, I think sporcle is fair game for everyone, go for it, you have my blessing. Addison, that hurts my heart.
