Perhaps the most provocative essay argued for a tie between Ernest Hemingway and O.J. Simpson. The author’s point seemed to be that Hemingway was “not the typical American,” but that Simpson sort of was.

And:

One person wrote about the Hummer all-terrain vehicle. This is not technically a human, but I could see her point.

Nuggets of random anecdote. Fairly useless, but curious anyway.
