100 things

Who started that "100 things about me" thing? How long has it been going on? The rate of proliferation is certainly high. Dipping in at random is always a way to fill that idle moment when there are unpleasant to-do items waiting for attention. It's very entertaining to read what people list, especially as they run out of things to say and then (a) just plain stop before 100 is reached, (b) really become candid, (c) ask friends for assistance with the remainder, or (d) reach to reach 100.
