Generating Article Topics

The most recent assignment for my writing class was to generate a list of at least (at least!) 50 article topics that I could write about. I just read them through to Brian (and we laughed and laughed) and, like a good student, posted my "Top 10" on the class discussion board. Just for kicks, I thought I'd share the entire list here. The "Top 10" are bolded. Enjoy ...
