POPSTop 25 All Time Clippers! Introducing the new Clipper Index page. Congrats to invictus , our number one all time clipper, and the other 24 of you in the Top 25. Please note that the page is a work in progress and we will continue to tweak the algorithm in the coming weeks. Also be on the lookout for new features on this page soon, like sorting by any of the column headers (e.g., most pops, alphabetically, etc.) I'm a modest 31. What's your rank?

POPSFake eye - prosthetics from 4,800 years ago. Harris said the primary reason for the artificial eyeball would not have been medical. "She could have worn a patch, but perhaps her family wanted her to look her best for public appearances," he explained. Damn the wealthy!!;) I'm sure all the other girls back then would have wanted the fake eye too.

POPSNot really Canadian? Liberal MP Andrew Telegdi, vice-chair of the citizenship and immigration committee, called for Parliament to pass a new law for the Canadians who should never have lost their citizenship in the first place. "I mean, it just defies logic," Telegdi told CBC News. "The system doesn't make any sense, so it's critical that we have a citizenship act that is in compliance with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the generosity of what Canadians believe." What the frick?!!?! Another 8 months until they get "reinstated"? Does that mean they've got to take the test again and stuff?
