Jeg elsker lister og har forlengst stått fram som en uforbederlig listefetisjist. Jeg prøvde en stund å motstå denne lista, som sirkulerer friskt både på Facebook og ymse blogger i disse dager, men måtte til slutt gi etter for fristelsen (og noe må man dessuten gjøre for å muntre seg opp når det er pokkers inn i helsikes TJUETO minusgrader ute og man må stå opp midt på natta – etter å ha sittet oppe og strijobba til bare ørlitegrann tidligere den samme natta. Hrmpf).
