One of my favorite things about December is the way everyone starts compiling year-end lists that recount the best and worst of the previous 12 months.

This photo by Frank Lin was particularly striking. At first I thought I was looking at a screen shot of CSI: Miami or something like that, but apparently this is legitimate. The caption read
