List of objects dropped on New Year's Eve. It's about time we had this article!
This month's installment marks the 12th random Wikipedia article I've tracked down--I've officially been doing this for a full year. While I'd like to maintain this tradition, a couple of events make me hesitent. The first is Mike's discovery of this page, a Wikipedia article that does continuously what I do only monthly.
While merging my monthly "column" with the list, I stumbled on a second reason: some of my Wikipedia articles have been deleted, notably the one that started this whole mess: List of sets of unrelated songs with identical titles. (Other items nominated for deletion that day: List of fictional characters that regularly wear shorts, Veil Fetishism, Tuba (mythology), and perhaps the one I disagree with the most, Bureaucrash.)
PS: Runner up this month was Pipe Smoker of the Year, a discontinued award which honors famous pipe smokers. However, my research for the above paragraph led me to this month's winner; I couldn't resist.

The second 85% of my live I’ve lived in Orange County, CA, but I’ve never heard of dropping an orange at midnight…I wonder where it’s done.
