The
Keepers of Lists are an ancient and
secretive yet
humble order of monks who got bored of practicing
Gregorian Chants and instead took as their sacred calling, the grand responsibility of maintaining "the
lists". Lists were submitted by
apostles all over the world. The Keepers allowed their apostles to vote on list items & submit new lists in order to develop the funniest
David Letterman style
Top 10 (and more) lists available on the
internet today and for all time.
The order went into
seclusion in late 1996. The
website the bears their name is presented in honor of the brothers & sisters of the original Order of the Keepers of Lists. It is the goal of the new brotherhood to re-establish the grand
traditions of the order and do justice to the memory of the founding Keepers.
In honor of the original Keepers of Lists, they maintain an archive of the Ancient Lists from the original website (found -after exhaustive
searches- on dusty scrolls (lost to the world, not quite as long as the
Dead Sea Scrolls) tucked away in the dark corners of the Internet.

Keepers of Lists can be found at:

excuses to
party all the time, drinking great quantities of
mead &
grog while stuffing their faces with
mutton. Come hang out for a while. The door to the
monastery is always open.
