List Sixty Five.
A list of famous triplets (probability of 1 out of 8000 pregnancies):
1. Diana, Sylvia, and Vicky Villegas: used to be in a group called "The Triplets." They are best known for their 1991 single, "You Don't Have To Go Home Tonight." I can't sing it for you.
2. Petra, Rachel, and Tanya Haden: musician ladies active in numerous bands. Rachel and Petra were once in the '90s band "That Dog" - oh, the wonderful memories of my middle school.
3. Helen, Kate, and Lil Armstrong: first accepted set of triplets all to be accepted to Cambridge University. I don't know who were the first triplets accepted to Harvard, sorry.
4. The Saunders triplets (IMDB doesn't attribute their first names and that makes me angry): played the baby Harry Potter in that Harry Potter movie that I hate and everyone loves.
5. Erica, Jaclyn and Nicole Dahm: blond playmates who co-ordinated breast implants to advance their naked careers (think about the term "naked careers").
6. Craig, Nick and Ryan Karshner: model dudes for Abercrombie and Fitch and Cingular. Also they have a calendar.
7. Alex, Claire and Robert Chapman: mom was barely seventeen when she had these kids. That's a whole lot of growing up to do.
8. Joy, Leanna and Monica Creel: starred in various made for TV parent trap movies. Leanna was in "Saved By The Bell" as Tori Scott, and has her own photo business thing with terrible music, maybe you shouldn't click the link oh god the music.
9. Alice Holmes, Doris Kingston and Gladys Caress: old living set of triplets. Gladys has one of the sauciest old lady names ever.
10. Arecelia Garcia was 54 when she had a naturally conceived set of triplets. Wikipedia hates me and doesn't want to tell me their first names either, and also, I'm done with this list, I feel thricely educated enough.

List Fifty Nine.
A list of differences between mannequins and humans:
1. Mannequin life span is estimated to top out in the thirty-something range, although the elder ones will swear that they're just twenty-somethings.
2. Human beings consume a great deal less amount of hairspray per capita than mannequins.
3. To describe a mannequin as having "a stick up [his/her] butt" is just a way of life for some, whereas for humans, the connotations are typically negative concerning certain conservative attributes.
4. Fashion is the number one priority of mannequins, while human beings site "survival" as their most important activity.
5. Mannequins are in the top ten in the Guinness Book of World Records for not-blinking (statues, or other eyeless things currently place higher), while human beings are not even considered for this feat.
6. Real estate prices for mannequins goes for a lot cheaper than humans, being that all most mannequins require is a storefront window and no other amenities.
7. Most humans celebrate religious holidays; most mannequins are atheist.
8. There's only ever been one popular diet method for mannequins - not eating - but humans have endured countless waves of fad diets (Atkins, South Beach, etc.)
9. Nearly all mannequins call Robert Palmer their favorite musician, but human beings tend to be all over the map, admiring singers who run the gamut from Bruce Springsteen to Boy George.
10. Crime rate amongst mannequins lies in the 0 percent range, as human beings commit pretty much all of the violence-related occurrences in the world.

List Fifty Five.
A list of reasons why procrastinating is severely more exciting than doing your laundry.
1. Laundry is for plebeians.
2. Depending on your living situation, sometimes it's a coin-op. Procrastinating is totally free.
3. There are probably way more trendy t-shirts you can buy regarding procrastination than ones talking about laundry.
4. Laundry doesn't allow you to do anything but wait. Procrastinating is a versatile past-time, ranging from listening to music, petting a cat, or even sky-diving (only for the extreme procrastinator).
5. Procrastinating has the Latin prefix "Pro" which is positive in meaning. Most people don't know this, but laundry is an ancient Etruscan word for "must be avoided at all costs because the task is so boring."
6. There are more accidents associated with laundry than procrastinating. For example: the tragedy of sweater-shrinkage, or the slipping into a puddle whilst carrying a load of FRESHLY CLEANED LAUNDRY. Procrastinating rarely results in harm.
7. Procrastination is much more easily rhymed than laundry. This proves to be very useful whenever you find yourself in a freestyle competition.
8. Folding, hanging and putting away laundry is so much more exhausting than procrastinating.
9. Laundry is a chore that is a never-ending cycle of horror. You can stop or resume procrastinating whenever you like.
10. In creating this list, I have effectively procrastinated and perhaps produced some chuckles. When I go and perform my laundry duty, no one laughs at me, and I get upset.
