Top Ten articles for 2010

Sadly only two articles from the past year made the list. Six are carryovers from last year (the number in parentheses shows their rank in 2009). Two older articles made the list for the first time.

1 (1) Faces of Pain Chart - Feb. 22, 2008

Illustration of Earth at Winter Solstice.

The Wong-Baker Pain Chart holds the world's fascination for yet another year. With 5,000+ pageviews it outdraws the rest by about 4,000. I don't get it.

2 (3) David Carson; LeBron Etch A Sketch - June 14, 2007

3 (4) Lake Erie UFOs - Mar. 2, 2007

Newspaper article about UFOs

Christmas greetings

The Obama HOPE poster made graffiti artist/designer Shepard Fairey famous enough to be sued by Associated Press for stealing one of their photos. The story is complicated, the issues cloudy.

7 Precious, the movie - December 4, 2009

8 (10) Package pornography: sexy water bottle - Aug. 9, 2008

9 Lake Erie water snake - June 20, 2009

Christmas greetings

The water snakes on Kelleys Island always patrol the beach. Once in a while we get to watch them swallow their prey on the rocks.

10 "Louder Than A Bomb" Is Da Bomb! - March 25, 2010

Christmas greetings

One of the best of the many films I saw at this year's Cleveland International Film Festival was about a poetry slam team from an inner-city high school. The students I saw it with were cheering along with it.
