Whatcha thinkin' about? Instead of pennies for your thoughts, here are lists of interesting things to ponder while you gaze at your navel and explore the depths of your true self.

Things to Think About

The greatest duos of all time can exist independently of each other, but totally shouldn&#39;t. These are combinations and famous duos whose whole value is greater than the sum of their parts. For instance, you can have cheese (and it will be glorious) and you can separately have ham (and it will be succulent), but put them together and boom: ham and cheese and delicious.

You might even say the following pairs are dynamic duos who should never be separated. But could some be considered iconic duos?

Some of the best fictional and celebrity couples that ever were find themselves among the best duos ever, but it&#39;s not just people that can make this list of the best pairings ever. Things like popcorn &amp; movies, baseball &amp; peanuts, and even Christmas &amp; snow are all better together.

Nostalgia for the movies, TV shows, stars, music, food, fashion, and toys of the decade that was already so long ago.

Revisiting the 2000s

Culture

The 2000s were a decade defined by breakthroughs in technology, strides towards mass human interaction, and pink Razr&nbsp;flip phones. Style is something that always seems to be critiqued in hindsight, which is the only argument that could possibly justify the neon, candy-colored clothing and accessories that littered the time period. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/pop-punk-bands-and-musicians/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Pop punk bands</a> reigned supreme, and their subjects would gather yearly to hear them perform at Vans Warped Tour. MySpace was the dominant <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/tags/social-media?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">social media</a> platform, Dane Cook was considered hilarious, and a political cataclysm&nbsp;would forever solidify the term &quot;hanging chad&quot; in the public consciousness.&nbsp;For all the strange fads of&nbsp;the '00s, there were also some wonderful occurrences. America elected its first non-white president in Barack Obama, many young kids protested for the first time against the invasion of Iraq, and people banded together to aid victims of massive atrocities like the September 11th terror attacks and Hurricane Katrina. Like any decade, there was a strange mix of wonderful and catastrophic events, but it was definitely an interesting decade to live through.With all that said, what do you miss most about the '00s? Vote up the things you wish you'd appreciated more, and vote down the things you're more than happy to forget.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A list of stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with photos. This list includes all television and movie stars. Acquiring a star on the Walk of Fame is considered a huge accomplishment in Hollywood, even among celebrities. To do so involves lobbying the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and making a $30,000 donation if you're selected (about 10% of the potential nominees are selected each year). Stars can be awarded for film, television, music, radio, and live performance. What celebrities have stars on the walk of fame? The walk is located on both Hollywood Blvd and Vine Street. The Walk of Fame was created in the 1950's. Administration is taken care of by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, while the Hollywood Historic Trust handles maintenance.

A List of Celebrity Twins, with photos! This list includes both fraternal and identical twins, famous twin duos and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-with-siblings-who-are-twins/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">celebrities with twin siblings</a> who aren&#39;t famous. Twin actors and celebrities are pretty rare given that only 2% of the world&#39;s population are twins, and only 0.2% are identical twins. To this day, twins are considered somewhat exotic and therefore appealing to new parents and casting agents alike. Couples trying for their first child often muse that fraternal twins (one boy, one girl) would be ideal.&nbsp;

In scientific terms, identical twins are known as &quot;monozygotic&quot; and fraternal twins as &quot;dizygotic&quot;. While twins may be unusual, some researchers suggest that as many as 1 in 8 pregnancies begin as twins, however, only one fetus is brought to full term as the other disintegrates. This is known as &quot;Vanishing Twin Syndrome&quot;. There is also such a thing as semi-identical twins in which the twins inherit identical genes from their mother, but different genes from their father. This list includes all types of famous twins in history - famous Asian, white, and Black twins, and they have all done something notable.

Where's the Beef?

List of celebrities who have been criticized by PETA for wearing fur, selling leather, hunting, promoting meat consumption, and endorsing companies that test products on animals. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is known for being outspoken against famous people who do nothing to better animal rights as they wear fur, reptile skins, feathers, and other animal by-products. The host of the popular "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign, PETA regularly targets celebrities for their business decisions, fashion choices, and even comments they make in interviews. Composed of many vegans and vegetarians, the organization releases and annual PETA's Worst-Dressed List designed to publicly shame those celebrities who have most boldly ignored the plight of animals. This list of famous people who have been blasted by PETA includes list-toppers Catherine Zeta-Jones, Nicole Richie, Lady Gaga, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-olsen-twins/anncasano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Olsen Twins</a>, and many more.

Before you decide to take a&nbsp;risk with your hair by getting the latest fashionable cut, be sure to consider celebrities who fell victim to trends and the evidence of their crimes. Celebrity hair trends remind every active pop culture consumer that, ironically,&nbsp;just because someone appears on TV doesn't mean they have any idea how things look. In the name of fame, celebrities embrace many terrible ideas&nbsp;believing&nbsp;they're going to redefine aesthetic&nbsp;everywhere.&nbsp;Ramen isn't even good for you, yet, in 2001, pop culture connoisseurs&nbsp;wore it on their heads.While most ended up thankfully retiring their <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/worst-hairstyles-of-all-time/rachel-green">worst&nbsp;hair trends</a>,&nbsp;celebrity fashion victims must be held accountable for their crimes against highlights.

Remember these child stars? How did they turn out?

All Grown Up

Where Are They Now?

After putting out a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/forgotten-mary-kate-and-ashley-projects/rebecca-shortall" target="_blank">lengthy catalog</a>&nbsp;of children's movies,&nbsp;the Olsen twins have remained out of the public eye for over a decade. The twins do not take part in reality television, they rarely do interviews, and they haven’t starred together in anything since 2004's <a href="https://www.ranker.com/review/new-york-minute/1671510?ref=morenode_2546554&amp;l=ref=rltdlsts&amp;l=2546554" target="_blank">New York Minute</a>. Despite their reclusiveness, many people&nbsp;are still fascinated by the former child stars. What have the Olsen twins been up to all these years?&nbsp;As it turns out, there are a lot of things you didn't know about the Olsen twins. The identical siblings were only nine months old when they landed the part of Michelle Tanner on the family sitcom Full House. Now in their 30s, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/scary-photos-of-mary-kate-and-ashley-olsen/machk" target="_blank">no longer look totally alike</a>, and Mary-Kate has actually taken up smoking cigarettes.&nbsp;After spending their childhood in the spotlight, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen today want nothing more to do with show business, and even turned down a lucrative offer to appear in the&nbsp;Full House&nbsp;reboot. Just because the cameras have stopped rolling doesn't mean that the siblings' lives are any less interesting, and some of their more recent adventures could definitely inspire feature-length films.&nbsp;

Or&nbsp;as the two strikingly similar-looking mystery women who make sporadic appearances at the Met Ball?
