Gone are the days when a top 10 list meant ‘what's top of the pop charts’ (as they were referred to back when ‘gay’ still meant happy).

These days the internet is chocka-block with ‘most extreme’ this and ‘world’s worst’ that, without any of the content being of any value whatsoever.

So, to bring everyone up to speed, here is our top 10 of top 10s, with links to some of the most absurd nonsense you’ll ever see on the net.

It really is a very strange world.

	Top 10 Naked Google Earth Photos Why, when there is a veritable smorgasbord of filth available at the click of a mouse, would anyone be interested in tiny, pixilated photos of fat people sunbathing? Unless of course you’re far sighted and desperate.
	Top 10 Wacky Experiments OK, I can understand dosing elephants up on acid and drinking infected vomit, but testing expressions of disgust by playing jazz to confused patients is just unnecessary.
	Top 10 Timewasting Sites Way more fun than P&L reports, but not as good at paying the rent. Be careful with this one, you may not come back.
	Top 10 Incredible Recordings If you’re looking for Peter Andre’s latest release keep moving. But if you’re interested to know what the only recorded Castrato sounds like, stick around. It’s surprisingly ballsy for it's time.
	Top 10 Urinals Toilet humour, I’m afraid. Still good for a bit of light relief.
	Top 10 Bizarre Mental Disorders According to critics, Australia is lagging behind the rest of the world when it comes to art. Well the silver lining is that at leastnobody’s going home with Stendhal Syndrome.
	Top 10 Strange Lego Creations Lego was recently voted the most impressive toy invention of the 20th Century. I doubt very much whether a life size Lego air conditioner is what pushed it over the line.
	Top 10 Weird Keyboards The Orbitouch looks like some kind of bizarre sex toy and the Data Hand is clearly designed for wankers (pain in the hand from typing indeed).
	Top 10 Hunter S. Thompson Quotes Just about everything this freak said was worth quoting, so these gems are in a class of their own. Unfortunately the list doesn’t include “I've always considered writing the most hateful kind of work. I suspect it's a bit like fucking — which is fun only for amateurs. Old whores don't do much giggling”, but there, I’ve said it anyway.
	Top 10 Crazy Patents Next time you need to get your hands on a mountable, printable, head placard, remember where you heard it first. It’s perfect for rock concerts and libraries. Also available is butt vacuum that means collecting your troublesome intestinal gasses has never been so easy.

Honourable mentions:

Bizarre literary deaths
This strangely specific death chart for unfortunate scribes includes the sad demise of Yukio Mishima, who committed hara-kiri, but was still beheaded just in case.

Reasons to inhabit space
Environmental benefits? THERE’S NO AIR OR WATER YOU MONKEYS!

Signs you’re a Christian fundamentalist
This top ten is funny, the rest of the site not so much. With sections entitled ‘Hitler was a Christian’ ‘Rape in the Bible’ and ‘God lied’, you get the feeling someone’s trying to exorcise a few demons.

Stupid Bush quotes
Follows on quite nicely from the last list.
