(Yet) Another Year End List

gordonb writes "New Scientist has yet another of those endless end-of-year lists, "13 things that do not make sense", including such topics discussed on Slashdot this year as the placebo effect, dark energy, and the ever-popular cold fusion. I know there are a lot more than 13 things that don't make sense, such as free markets, but, oxymorons aside, this is an interesting list, nevertheless."

    The thought just occured to me, that if Slashdot is gonna be posting all these 'best of the year' type lists... then maybe Slashdot should compile its own 'best of' list?

    In an utopian world, perhaps. Your idea would require that the editors actually perform some higher thought processes including reading, sorting and counting.

    That, my friend, is crazy talk.

    If you're on the top of the pile. Those being crushed on the bottom might reasonably feel otherwise.

    Can someone remind me how to mark a slashdot story as -1 (Troll)?
