Do you like lists? I don’t. Honestly. I know I share some interesting ones that I have found, mostly as they feed research and writing skill, but I don’t like lists. Everything that cascades down the page on social media is 11 of Hipster Baloney Titles or 10 tricks you’ll share to seem cooler to your friends online. And, so on. Some of them are useful, as I said, giving you a word you can research in depth later, or person, place or thing. Those are invaluable to researchers and it’s an easy thing to bookmark for later in your research bookmarks folder (yes, I know you have one, because I do).

Anyway, this list amused me. Historical pranksters include: Ben Franklin, Lincoln, Curie, Kennedy, Woolf. That is all…
