Completely unbiased list of the 10 biggest stories ever

Right. Got it now. Why stick to a top 10 of important news stories from the last year, or decade, for that matter, as it's all far too recent (as any historian will tell you) to make a proper judgement, so here are Our Man's Top 10 Stories for All Time:

10. Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Hey, that would make a great subject for a book.
9. Susan Boyle's amazing conquest of the world sometime after.
8. The invention of the hovercraft.
7. Discovery of alcohol.
6. Invention of the wheel.
5. Re-invention of the wheel.
4. Election of the first Obama to become a President.
3. The Millenium Bridge wobbling a bit.
2. Something about Shakespeare.
1. Our Man in Abiko's Top 10 List of All Time Top 10 Stories (hey, this is kind of like looking into a mirror with a mirror, which perhaps should have been in this list too).

DK, you're right of course. Eddie the Eagle Edwards should be number 2 at least, if for nothing else than his homemade ski-jump simulator.
