POSTED: 11:58 am CDT July 13, 2007

If you like lists and rankings, then you will love Topfive.com.

Would you like to know what the "Top 13 New Jobs in the Harry Potter Universe" are? Topfive.com has the answer.

There is a list of the top 17 best ways to say someone's fly is open, with No. 17 being, "You've got Windows on your laptop."

"The Top 16 Fatal Things to Say to Your Pregnant Wife" is like a primer for dads-to-be of what not to say, with No. 5 being the flippant but popular "Got milk?"

And that's only a few of the more than 2,500 lists in the archives of Topfive.com.

Though the lists are made up of more than five items in many cases, the site began as a publication of a five-item list that was shared among a group of friends. Though the lists have expanded, the name Topfive.com has stuck around.

More than 500 comedy writers contribute to the site, which is updated with new lists daily.

The lists are made up of ideas sent in by the writers on particular topics. A moderator uses the best ideas to build the lists.

The site features a list archive with previous lists, "Greatest Hits" and "Hall of Fame" lists.

Topfive.com also offers a premium list, called ClubTop5, for paying subscribers.

And if you are undecided about whether you want to pay to get it, there's a Top 5 list of reasons why you should.
