Funniest TV Characters of All Time
I like Ranker and enjoy the lists and sometimes spend far too much time ranking, but it's easy to see the demographics of most of the people ranking, especially on this one.

Stately Sandwiches
http://statelysandwiches.com/
From the website: Kelly Pratt - I’ve set out to make the sandwich for each of the 50 states as a fun way to work on my photography, design, and writing skills. It will be quite a delicious journey across the US. Before I make each sandwich I do research on the Internet, call local sandwich shops, and check out a few books to be sure I do my best to properly represent a state.
The choice for the Texas sandwich is brisket, and I wouldn't argue against that. Their reasoning?
When a sandwich starts with bloody marys and ends with tequila, it’s pretty impossible not to love.
Couldn't argue against that, either.

Top 100 Classic Rock Songs
Top 100 Classic Rock Songs of All Time
Other than the order, it would be hard for me to argue against the songs on this list; they're all in my mp3 jukebox. Oh, I suppose if I wanted to nitpick, I wouldn't have included Hotel California or Imagine, but I don't object enough to their being on the list to fuss about it. It's a little too heavy on Led Zepplin for my taste, but I understand why the songs are included.
What do you think? Did they miss any? Are there any songs on the list you wouldn't have included?

Top 10 Unbreakable Sports Records
Last week, several sports talk shows were talking about the anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game and saying it was a record that could never be broken. The subject then turned to other sports records that would forever remain. Several were brought up and some added to the mix while others were discarded as unlikely to be broken, but possibly could be.
This list hit my reader earlier this a.m. and I think it's probably the definitive list.
Number 10 - Rocky Marciano's 49-0
Number 9 - Michael Schumacher's 7 championships
Number 8 - Ty Cobb's .366 career batting average
Number 7 - Nolan Ryan's 7 no-hitters
Number 6 - Wayne Gretzky's 215-point season
Number 5 - Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point night
Number 4 - John Wooden's 88 straight wins
Number 3 - Cy Young's 511 wins
Number 2 - Jerry Rice's 22,895 receiving yards
Number 1 - Cal Ripken's 2,632 consecutive games
I'm not a racing fan, so I couldn't pontificate on Schumacher's record, but it does sound like it's the "weakest" of the ten. If I had to pick another that could possibly be broken, then perhaps Nolan Ryan's no hitter total might be. Jerry Rice's receiving total would be next in line, but I wouldn't bet on any of those three ever being broken. The rest will probably stand for all-time.
I did a little research and found other, similar lists and some lists that took the total even higher:

3 Women
Just noticed this on my Excite start page's "Born Today" module:
Musician LeAnn Rimes born 1982
Musician Shania Twain born 1965
Actress Emma Samms born 1961
What's unique about this is that these three women would all be on my "makes my heart go pitty-pat" list.
