THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD: THE OFFICIAL TOP TEN






A rare glimpse of the Everything Database, captured by royal photographer Lord Lichfield to commemorate the Queen Mother's visit, shortly before she sadly passed away.




The Everything Database is the most precise scientific method developed for calculating 'The Best Thing In The World.' In a complex mathematical process, literally dozens of intelligent people across the globe transfer information into the Everything Database through a state of the art data retrieval system - called a 'survey' - facilitated by the most advanced digital equipment in the world today, the Internet.

The Everything Database has quantified the exhaustive data and produced the Top Ten Things In The World so far, from the beginning of time 00/00/0000, to today 10/05/2009. However, taking margins of error into account and the necessity to input a final few categories - Flip Flops, Nelson Mandela, Rainbows - the definitive Top Ten will not be available until approximately June 2013.
