Yahoo's Top Pictures of the Year

Contrary to the bullshit behind the end-of-the-year-top-searches, I found Yahoo's top pictures of the year rather interesting.

Here you can see the most viewed pictures of 2007, and surprisingly enough, the first 5 do not include any women in bathing suits (just women on high heels).

The most e-mailed pictures are different. The top one is of crocodile at a zoo in the southern Taiwan city of Kaohsiung, that holds the forearm of a zoo veterinarian in between its teeth. It's a rather gruesome picture. I guess people enjoy shocking their friends - or maybe they need to SHARE the shock. The second picture in line, by the way, is of Villagers boil rats in Suphan Buri province. So, we like animals and death, don't we?

The 4th image on this list, finally, shows some booty. Thank god!
