No doubt. I just have a pet peeve with huge lists like this. A lot of the value in coming up with a list is how & why you decide to either include a particular entry or leave it off. The longer the list gets, the more it appears that the author didn't put any hard thought into it, and the less value it has (for me anyway).

You know, if that number was smaller, I might actually click through & read the article. But 87? Really? A number that large makes me think that you just wrote down every single lame thing you could think of & didn't edit at all.

Personally, I'd prefer a much shorter list which someone made some effort to pare down to the moments that were genuinely the lamest.

NASA astronomers create first 3-D images of Sun

TheCybernator writes "Washington, Apr 24 (ANI): Using the agency's twin Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft, NASA astronomers have created the first three-dimensional images of the Sun. The new view, they say, will greatly aid scientists' ability to understand solar physics and thereby improve space weather forecasting. "The improvement with STEREO's 3D view is like going from a regular X-ray to a 3D CAT scan in the medical field," said Dr. Michael Kaiser, STEREO Project Scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, US. The STEREO spacecraft were launched October 25, 2006. On January 21 they completed a series of complex manoeuvres, including flying by the moon, to position the spacecraft in their mission orbits."

Do not clog intellect's sluices with bits of knowledge of questionable uses.
