The internet is full of lists. 10 Worst Nintendo Games, Top 10 Movies With Avacados. In fact if there is one thing interneters love, it's lists. Concise, immediate, often opinionated, and in order. It's rare to find something on the internet these days with those qualities. But lists have them. One great thing about lists is that it is for readers who like to read, but also for readers who don't like to read. Some will read just the main items on the list, without reader justification. Others will read both. And some will read only those on the list they find interesting.

But with all these lists, there are many things that often get left out. Things that are really difficult to put on a list. They can belong to particular categories, but the categories are rare themselves. That being said, here is my attempt to include 5 things you wouldn't normally find on a list, on a list. There are, of course, many more. Please provide your own items.

1. Rarely Used Punctuation
The great thing about punctuation, is that it allows a reader to read text as though it's being spoken. If a reader knows his author particularly well, knows their speech habits, they're usually able to "hear" what they read. This is all by the grace of wonderful punctuation points like the comma, the ellipses, the hyphen, the colon, and the parenthesis. But there are some punctuation points that are rarely ever used - so rare, in fact, that they don't even cover them in a standard High School curriculum. Some of my favorites include:

The Solidus ( ⁄ ) - Looks like a Slash, but side by side you can see their difference: ⁄/
It is used to denote shillings, or in math for fractions.

Guillemets (« ») - Unless you took French in school, and read french novels, the Guillemets are foreign to you - unless you are a Math person, and use these as notation for much greater/less than. In French they can be used as quotes. On your DVD players, they would be known as rewind/fast forward.

Interpunct ( • ) - Used for interword separation in ancient Latin script.

Pilcrow ( ¶ ) - Besides an amazing name, the Pilcrow denotes the end of a paragraph, and line breaks.

Interrobang ( ‽ ) - The combination of an exclamation point, and question mark, the interrobang can be used to replace '?!'

Asterism ( ⁂ ) - Used to call attention to a passage

Irony mark ( ؟ ) - Used to indicate that a sentence should be understood at a second level.

Diaeresis or Trema ( ¨ ) - Used to indicate a vowel should be pronounced apart from the letter which precedes it. A similar one is the Umlaut.

2. Archaic Insults

Nothing beats insulting someone, than insulting someone with terms they are unfamiliar with, thereby making them feel stupid. But not only that, they also raise the overall grandeur of the insulter, because of their archaic sound.

Some good ones are:

Why! Aren't you coxcomb!
Don't be such a conceited dandy
Must you be such a pretentious fop? - Notice the use of the interrobang.
Well now, you are just pert.
How indecorously free of you...

3. BraveStarr

Yes. The long forgotten 80s cartoon that only lasted 6 months, about the futuristic Native American cowboy, Marshall BraveStarr who looks after the planet New Texas. Even if there were a list of long-forgotten 80s cartoons, this would not even be on it. It's that forgotten. Even M.A.S.K. would appear on the list. But not BraveStarr. This is beyond me, because BraveStarr - despite being in the future - dealt with real-life issues. Like the final episode, called The Price, in which an indecorously free drug dealer shows up in New Texas and offers "Spin" to two boys. While one refuses, the boy who does tries it out ends up dying. Lesson learned.

4. Fruits that are Best After Bletting

Fruit is great. I recommend trying some. But some fruit...well, they're not so great. Unless you blet them. Bletting is where, after ripening, the fruit begins to decay and ferment. Some best-be-bletted fruit are...

The Nashi Pear - Also known as the Japanese Pear, or the Papple (pear-apple), it is a pear that looks like an apple. Make sure blet before you bite!

Medlars - Hard and acidic, they are virutally inedible. Until, of course, the beast begins being bletted. Once bletted, the fruit tastes like apple-sauce.

Persimmons - Persimmons are often found in your local supermarket. They contain high levels of tannins (the thing that causes that dry, puckery feeling in the mouth) which make them impossible to eat. Bletting brings breakdown of the tannins, which can take several days, and so is jumpstarted with alcohol or carbon dioxide. Another method is exposure to frost.

Quince - Another fruit that's too hard and sour to eat until being beyond bletting. Used in jam, jelly and pudding.

True Service Tree - The tree, being generally rare, and endangered is found in Switzerland and Austria. Besides having a great name, the True Service Tree fruit is used for a cider drink in parts of Europe, and is highly astringent and gritty. Big blatant bletting banquests begin before Baseball season.

5. Water Soluble Proteins

For those of you unfamiliar with the term "water soluble" this is the scientific term for something which disolves in water. One benefit of being water soluble is the ease of ingestion that comes with it. Some of my favorite WSPs are:

Albumin - Also moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experiences heat coagulation. It is thanks to the albumin in Eggs (the Egg white) that we can prepare eggs in many different ways. All work great with Tabasco sauce.

Interferon Alfa-2b - Known on the market as Intron-A, this is currently being used around the world as the drug that treats for chronic hepatitis C, chronic hepatitis B, hairy cell leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, follicular lymphoma, carcinoid tumor, and malignant melanoma.

Another benefit that comes with WSPs, is Transdermal delivery. This is a relatively new concept in treating patients by delivering antibodies and drugs through the skin, without requiring a shot, or without needing to be injested. A protein-laden water layer is spread across the skin, and is able to permeate through, delivering the substance to the body. Read more about it here: Transdermal Delivery
