As is the case every year, our top 10 lists have a few notable absentees in 2011. These include the top grossing Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

A leaning tower is a tower which, either intentionally, due to errors in design, construction or to subsequent external influence, does not stand perpendicular to the ground. This list is about these unusual buildings.
The time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is probably the slowest time of the year for tech news. That’s probably why this picture of Mark Zuckerberg riding a buffalo is making headlines. Well, that…and it is pretty damn funny.
