Top 10 Countdown Show Trivia Question
This website is one of the oldest to debut on the internet. It originated with a posting on Usenet, a worldwide discussion system, by computer programmer Col Needham about actresses with beautiful eyes. After he created other lists and added other contributors, Needham developed and posted a collection of scripts to make those lists searchable.
