Interesting list. Who's to say what the best is? This debate could go on forever, and it probably will.

Dorkbot
Strange things can be done with electricity. Check out the link http://dorkbot.org
The interesting thing to me is to learn about strange things that creative people are doing right now around the world. The Dorkbot movement is broad and inclusive. I liked it.

Antiques Roadshow 2009
It's part adventure, part history lesson, and part treasure hunt. In a record for the show, four pieces of Chinese carved jade and celadon from the Qianlong era (1736-1795), including a large bowl made for the Emperor, were given a conservative auction estimate of up to $1.07 million. The statement said the owner of the jade inherited the collection from her father, who bought the objects in the 1930s and 1940s, while stationed in China as a military liaison.

Bernard Madoff Saga
Finally, a federal judge in New York sentenced Bernard L. Madoff to 150 years in prison for running a huge Ponzi scheme that devastated thousands of investors, calling his crimes 'extraordinarily evil'. I think his jail cell will become is coffin. People have such a short memory, I am afraid there always will be new scammers.
