Slightly less time-sensitive than other year-end lists, compilations of hilarious and/or excruciatingly painful falls are nonetheless an especially apt metaphor for the year 2008.

Good thing we don’t have to watch the ensuing paramedical and surgical interventions. That’ll be the year-end vidsticle for 2009.
