More top 10 web pages of 2006.
Previously. This time, in reverse order of coolness, more or less.
- Gödel and Einstein and time (Jim Holt, New Yorker).
- xkcd and the ferret.
- David Hasselhoff is hooked on a feeling. Also, he’s high on believing. Take that into consideration, “SpongeBob”.

- “Dear favorite cabbie who was killed yesterday.”
- “My internet penis is a gigantic monster. Awesome!” (Timothy Farrell) Part of Dead Monkey Comics.

- Things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army.
- A comprehensive comparison of Germany and the U.S.

- The Parlor by Geoffrey Haley. High production values, simple concept. Geoffrey Haley has gone on to greater things.
- Festial International du Cinéma d’Animation, The Bendito Machine (a lovely short film of silhouettes and betrayal)
- Malcolm Gladwell and Adam Gopnik debate health care. Say what you want about Gladwell, he’s a first-rate thinker. (Gopnik is too.) Are debates supposed to be this much fun to read?

- Frigging SEC filing by Paul Kedrosky.
- John Hodgman becomes famous.
- Why do Supreme Court justices get more liberal over time (Jon D. Hanson and Adam Benforado).

- Hapland 3.
- Ze Frank begins The Show.
- “Electron Band Structure in Germanium, My Ass” by Lucas Kovar
- Grandiloquent Dictionary: A collection of the most obscure and fancy words in English by Edward Bird. I’m sad to report that Edward Bird died in 2007 at the age of 64 or 65.
