Puss-In-Boots, man!

A Very Special
TOP TEN
Where we count down the zeigeists defining the past millennium.
-Compiled by Alisa Welch & Sarah Thurmond

1006 Medieval people, already scared shitless thinking of which horrible death awaits them, are surprised by the brightest "new star" ever recorded in historic times. Not a very nice "surprise," God.

1106 Jesus Rules! The Crusades world tour is well under way.

1206 Mongolian stud Temujin proclaimed Genghis Khan, or "He With The Impressive Facial Hair."

1306 A century full of highs and lows, the word bi-polar is coined. Baltic Sea freezes over for the second time; global warming is blamed. A year before, Dante writes The Divine Comedy. Approximately 40 years later, the Black Death kills off a third of the European population.

1406 A young Prince James of Scotland (later to become King James I) is sent to France for his own safety but unfortunately he is captured and spends the next eighteen years of his life in the Tower of London. He is seen "dropping his hair" to many a knight in shining armor.

1506 Century of the Party. Flush toilets and bottled beer are invented. And Michaelangelo does David.

1606 A Puss-In-Boots fashion craze sweeps the Netherlands.

1706 Benjamin Franklin is born, and the world discovers a sense of humor.
(Where was Benjamin Franklin when the lights went out? In the dark. Geddit?)

1806 Schoolgirls throw away their ragdolls and make Jane Marcet's Conversations on Chemistry a blockbuster book. Chemistry soon becomes all the rage, replacing rolling rocks across the dirt as a popular pastime.

1906 The San Francisco earthquake sends shockwaves through the world, and the
White Sox beat the Cubs in the World Series.
