Yeah. It's awesome. Thought I'd share it with those who have yet to indulge in its awesomeness.
Fans of sites like Cracked.com won't have a hard time enjoying the endless amount of content provided by Listverse. You can also submit your own list!(someone should make a Top 10 Dramatic Moments on TA :stongue
1. Mozart, ever the comedian, wrote a piece of music in 1782 for six voices called �lick me in the ass� (�Leck mich im Arsch�) or more colloquially �kiss my ass�. You can listen to a recording of it in the youtube clip above.
i've actually been to #8 - Meteor Crater. it's a tourist trap. you can't go into the crater. very disappointing
Capulin Volcano in northeast NM was much more fascinating, imo

These lists are often so full of inaccurate facts that you can barely take most of them seriously. I can tell for a fact that, though this guy did some research, it's based on myths and "I think-isms" more than anything else.

I fail to understand the meaning behind this
Most of the lists are compiled by users(names are under the title) so there will be some bad apples in there I'm sure.
I recall reading something that was completely inaccurate(10 tricks casinos use on you) but it was sent in by a user(Kjsem78).
Like cracked.com, I wouldn't take everything written in an article as %100 fact, which inevitably leads one to doing their own research on said topic. Listverse/Cracked/etc is a good starting point based off the little information provided i.e.
quote:
The deepest lake in the world is in the former USSR and it is Lake Baikal. It has a length of 400 miles, a width of roughly 30, but its depth is just over a mile: 5,371 feet down. It is deep enough, so is speculated, that all five of the next largest lakes: The Great Lakes could be emptied into it.
Ok, this is interesting. *Opens Google Images, types in Lake Baikal, switches back to web, checks out many sources, goes to Amazon.com, purchases a book on Lake Baikal, purchases more books on Lake Baikal(because we all know depending on one source is not always the best way to gather information *
