         ..the essential 
          nature of lists, poets who list things in their works and painters who 
          accumulate things in their paintings. ... 
          Umberto Eco: The list is the origin of culture. Its part 
          of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make 
          infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order -- not always, 
          but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does 
          one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, 
          through collections in museums and through encyclopedias and dictionaries. 
          There is an allure to enumerating how many women Don Giovanni slept 
          with: It was 2,063, at least according to Mozarts librettist, 
          Lorenzo da Ponte. We also have completely practical lists -- the shopping 
          list, the will, the menu -- that are also cultural achievements in their 
          own right...
