An alphabetical list of more than 400 of Dickens's characters - which book they were in, what Dickens said about them etc etc.
Charles Dickens's characters are some of the most memorable in fiction. Often these characters were based on people that he knew: characters like Wilkins Micawber and William Dorrit (his father), and Mrs. Nickleby (his mother). In a few instances Dickens based the character too closely on the original and got into trouble, as in the case of Harold Skimpole in Bleak House (based on Leigh Hunt) and Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield (based on his wife's chiropodist). Characters such as Scrooge (miserly) and Pecksniff (hypocritical) became defining terms in everyday English, and remained in use for a hundred years or more. Dickens's friend and biographer, John Forster, said that Dickens made 'characters real existences, not by describing them but by letting them describe themselves'. According to John R. Greenfield, in his Dictionary of British Literary Characters, Dickens created 989 named characters during his career. The list in this web represents the best-known.

This is a TIME article, with photos and text on the Top 20 Watches
The end of a century is a time for looking back, evaluating and reminiscing. Most of all, it seems, it's a time for making lists. By now, we all know the names of the 100 best books, best movies, and biggest news stories of the 20th century. So, in the enumerative spirit of the times, we present here the 20 most important wristwatches of the 20th century.
What do we mean by important? Several things. Some of the watches are on the list because they represent technological breakthroughs. Others because of their innovative design. Others because of their enduring popularity and still others because they were, quite simply, examples of watchmaking virtuosity.
We enlisted a panel of three experts to help us compile the list. They are Osvaldo Patrizzi, founder and head of the Geneva-based auction house Antiquorum, which has been specializing in timepieces since the mid-1970's. Antiquorum is the biggest watch-auction house in the world and Patrizzi one of the world's best-known watch historians.
Charles Cleves, a long-time watch dealer, collector, and authority of vintage wristwatches. His store, Cleves and Lonnemann, is in Bellevue, Ky.
Roland Schild, and expert on Swiss watches and the modern Swiss watch industry. Schild, now retired, spent 30 years as a media consultant to Swiss watch associations and firms. Darwel S.A., the firm he co-founded in 1969, is the Swiss watch industry's top public relations firm.
Each panelist compiled a list of what he regards as the most important wristwatches of the century. So did we. We compared the lists and, after weighing the arguments made on behalf of the contenders - and there was considerable disagreement among our panelists - chose 20 of them. The final decisions were based on suggestions from the panelists but were, ultimately, ours alone.
The watches are presented in alphabetical order except for the last, the Watch of the Century (which all the panelists agreed on, as did everyone else whose opinion we asked).

The official website of Borat Sagdiyev, Khazakhstan's leading television reporter
Borat is the story of a reporter for Khazakhstan Television, sent to America to report on life in "the greatest country in the world" (which he persists in calling the "US and A").
The film opens in Khazakhstan, where Borat's reporting responsibilities include coverage of the annual "Running of the Jew". Borat discusses his personal interests, which include ping-pong, sunbathing and "watch ladies make toilet", and introduces his sister, whom he describes as "number four prostitute in whole of Kazakhstan".
Soon after his arrival in America, Borat sees Pamela Anderson on TV, in an episode of Bay Watch, and resolves to travel to California to invite her to be his bride. On his way to California, Borat has many adventures, including:
* a visit to a southern mansion, where a banquet is being held under the auspices of the Magnolia Fine Dining Society, from which Borat is ejected when it emerges that the black lady who has accompanied him is a street walker
* a visit to a gun shop, whose owner has a number of helpful suggestions to make when Borat asks what gun he would recommend for shooting Jews
* a visit to a rodeo, where he advises his listeners that in Khazakhstan homosexuality is punished by hanging, to which one cowboy responds "We're trying to get that done over here, too"
* a visit to a college, where Borat leads students in a rosuing chorus of the traditional Khazakh folk song "Throw the Jew down the well"
When he reaches California Borat confronts Pamela Anderson at a book launching, where he proposes marriage and promises her that if she accepts he will give her her own plow. (One viewer of the film said that "there is no way Pamela Anderson is a good enough actress to convey the horror she expressed" when this proposal was made.)
Preview screenings of Borat start in Wellington tomorrow. At advance screenings in the US audience reaction has been extreme. One reviewer on the IMDb said that in the session he attended viewers were "on the edge of their seats, trying not to spray urine on those close to them".
"Have you ever been duped? Of course, we all have! This site contains every single hoax ever created. Find all the hoaxes you or someone else has fallen for."
