Saucepans beat strumming monster
The Ten Best Saucepans! Think about it. Saucepans come in different shapes and sizes and they're made of different materials. It's only natural that if you can have great films and great songs, you can have great saucepans. And among the 100 things to do before you die, finding The Ten Best Saucepans is right up there. Well, that's what readers of The Independent think.
The really funny thing about the paper that lectures us daily on the evils of Israel and the horrors of the USA, via the oracular Robert Fisk, is that its readers seem to prefer the more practical things in life. "Most read" is not the amazingly insightful "The storm clouds that hang over John McCain" by Johann Hari, featuring the classic "the needless drowning of 1,836 of the poorest, blackest Americans while the President strummed his guitar on stage" (!), but the "The 50 Best Watches", followed closely by "The Ten Best Laptop Bags". Still, it's good to see that football has made it into the top five of "Most Read" topics.
Indy reader lifestyle: He takes a look at one of the 50 Best Watches on his wrist, gets a nice piece of liver out of one of the Ten Best Laptop Bags and puts it in one of Ten Best Saucepans to sizzle. It'll be done nicely before the game kicks off. These are, indeed, the things to do before you die.
