National Geographic's Top Ten Stories of 2006 Far from being stuffy or overly scientific, this round-up of National Geographic's top 10 articles of the year gleams with all the romance and wonder of a world where anything seems possible. "Bog men" from 2,000 years ago slick gel into their hair to appear more menacing. A monster rabbit pillages villages of northeast England; locals dub the marauding beast "Bigs Bunny." Noah's Ark possibly washes up in Iran, a "lost world" reveals itself in the South Pacific, and the family of planets bids adieu to poor Pluto. Human quadrupeds and the horrifying death of a beloved crocodile hunter round out the selection. But one story gloms up a record two spots, including the distinction of being the magazine's most popular article of 2006. We'll let you unearth that one for yourself. Enjoy. (in Science)
