Doing research on idiosyncratic lists and taxonomies earlier this week, I came across McSweeney’s, well, list of lists. It’s also available in book form (Mountain Man Dance Moves: The McSweeney’s Book of Lists). Here’s a small selection (do I need to mention that doing research, in this case, means googling up…):

Thomas Hobbes’s “State of Nature” Adjectives That Befit My Hangover
Clint Eastwood Film or Gay Porn?
Actual Titles of Victorian Periodicals
Words Never Used in the Titles of Remotely Good Films
Variants of Walking, As Defined By The United States Department of Agriculture
IKEA Product or Lord of the Rings Character?
Complete List of Creatures in a Land Called Honah Lee
