Sure, you've made some silly mistakes in your life. You threw a bunch of money into Beanie Babies and Lehman Brothers. A year ago today you predicted we'd all be saying "President Romney" and people wouldn't be sick of Gotye. But hey, unlike the folks in this post, at least those horrible slip-ups aren't permanently enshrined on your body.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Unless you have a Taco Bell tattoo on your ass or shoulder and the employees feel bad enough for you to throw an 89 cent soft taco your way for free.

Will next year's posts be even more popular?!  What do we have up our sleeves for year two??

Nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  Luckily the show comes back in three weeks and the burden is off us again.  I can only write about the first link I see on Reddit so many times a day…

Thanks for celebrating our 1st anniversary with us!  We couldn't have done it without you…  Our not so bright loyal readers.

Just kidding!  Jokes!

The top three search engines — Google, Yahoo! and Bing — all recently released their top searches of the year.

The only person to make all three lists?  The King of Pop, of course… Michael Jackson.

But you can deduce a lot of information about the type of people who use each search engine by what the top searches were.

For example, with Google, here is the rest of the top five: 1) Twitter, 3) Facebook, 4) Hulu, and 5) Hi5.

As you can tell, Google is the destination for people who have yet to figure out that you can access websites by adding ".com" to the end of a word and typing it directly into your address bar — you know, that giant white space at the top of every browser window.

A quick check of seven of Yahoo's remaining top 10 tells you all you need to know about their average user: 2) Twilight, 3) WWE, 4) Megan Fox, 5) Britney Spears, 7) American Idol, 8) Kim Kardashian, and 9) NASCAR.

That's right… Yahoo is the primary search engine used at Brown University.

Bing's top 10 is the most confounding: 2) Twitter, 3) Swine Flu, 4) Stock Market, 5) Farrah Fawcett, 6) Patrick Swayze, 7) Cash for Clunkers, 8) Jon and Kate Gosselin, 9) Billy Mays, and 10) Jaycee Dugard.

At first, I didn't know what to make of it.  Then I realized: Not enough people actually use Bing to make it a statistically significant survey.

It's Statistics 101, people.  You can just throw that data out.

Meta ain't nothing new: Bringing things to a "later stage of development" — as meta is defined — is, in some ways, the definition of the Internet itself.  Everything old is new again, and everything new is newer than ever before.

Therefore, Casey Kasem was way ahead of his time when he brought you his America's Top 40 way back in 1970 — a numbered list that predated our obsession with numbered lists.

And the world of meta-humor recognized that fact, when, in 1993, Casem did a Top Ten list of his Top Ten favorite numbers for late night king David Letterman (as seen above).

But can we take meta up one more level, please?

Sure.  Because yesterday, a link to the above video made page 1 of Digg Offbeat — therefore making it one of 2009's hot links.

Um, that's meta of meta of meta, right?  Right??  A 1993 video, posted in 2007, becoming popular in 2009???

Ahhhhh…   My brain hurts.

Ever wanted to play a boring version of "Would you rather?" Here you go:

This useless web application called "Pick One" lets you chose between two random things. That's all.

But it does compile a list of the Top 10 most-winningest items:

… notice that "the Internet" is ranked higher than "Women."
