Still find it scary that Britney Spears makes it in the top 5 no matter what. Know I am not surprised, but Lance Armstrong just broke his collar bone in the run for another Tour de France victory…*sigh*. Interesting stats, thanks!

The correlation between the two is interesting. Question: Who’s still talking about Shaq? Isn’t he old news?
