Most inappropriately named hotel: 'The Big Sleep Hotel' In Cheltenham, England? - because in Raymond Chandler's novel 'The Big Sleep' meant 'Death'. 'Death Hotel' is not the best of names for a hotel. Even worse than the Bates Motel.
Most contriving plotter of detective novels: Agatha Christie? Because of her overly complicated plots with cardboard characters. Still, there's no arguing with success.
Most inspired fictional detective: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Sherlock Holmes or should that be Edgar Allan Poe's Dupin? Both inhabit a dark, credible world.
Most underrated Science Fiction writers: H P Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith? For highly imaginative stories from the 1930s.
Most hiliarious science fiction comedy: Stanislav Lem's The Cyberiad? So much more inspired than the later Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Most underrated play by Shakespeare: Cymbeline?
Most pointless remake of a film: Solaris (2003) Why bother doing this when Tarkovsky's 1972 original was so very good?
Most impressive monster horror film for its day: Original King Kong with Fay Wray?
Most inspired post war British comedian: Tony Hancock?
Most ineptly designed theatre: Elizabeth Scott's 1932 (and still standing) Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, England?
Most elaborate renaissance hoax: The Voynich Manuscript? Although the VM may indeed contain something useful, it seems more likely that it was a scam concocted by John Dee and Edward Kelly to defraud Emperor Rudolph II of 600 gold ducats; a tidy sum.
Most unsurprising court judgment: Aung San Suu Kyi found guilty of violating Burmese security laws? The only surprising things was they took so long to do so. Her father, Aung San, was murdered along with six others in Rangoon in 1947 when she was two years old. (Added August 2009.)
Most surprising invoice? Does this indicate that Froude-Hofmann in Worcester was down to its last few hundred pounds? Birmingham City University sending invoices to students as Froude Hofmann had not paid for courses a year afterwards. Sylvia Redding of Froude Hofmann claims they paid the bill later in 2009. Very strange.
Most similar couple. Andrew Dorman and Larne Dorman look very similar. Click on one of the images for a video of the transformation. Very unusual.
