Brackets

Thanks to Walter Satterthwait for this link.

The Enlightened Bracketologist reveals the best ad slogan of all time, the greatest film death, and more. - By Mark Reiter and Richard Sandomir - Slate Magazine: "This essay is adapted from the introduction to The Enlightened Bracketologist: The Final Four of Everything, the book that uses ingenious NCAA Tournament-style brackets to answer life's most nagging questions. What was more memorable, 9/11 or the JFK assassination? Which movie had the better death scene, Psycho or Bonnie and Clyde? With our interactive brackets, you can check out what The Enlightened Bracketologist's experts think or choose your own champion.

Go to the Where Were You When Moments bracket. Go to the Film Deaths bracket. Go to the Marital Arguments bracket. Go to the Ad Slogans bracket."

Thanks, Bill. I gotta get this one.

For the record, JFK's assassination beat out 9/11 in my finals.

Maybe it's an age thing.

Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but since I was only three months old when we lost JFK, 9/11 was my topper.

For movie deaths, it was Kong all the way! Big monkey dies, everyone cries.
