Strange looking list. On my browser Rand Paul's name is truncated to "RAND PAU.." (ironically all such truncated names are cut off at the last letter, making them all longer). Many longer names are not truncated, though: "RECEP TAYYIP ERDOĞAN", "DZHOKHAR AND TAMERLAN TSARNAEV". Several names end with full-stops, too: "MALALA YOUSAFZA." is one.

I wonder if it is a secret message.

Well, I tried to have a look at the list. I also happen to use a request-origin whitelist (Requestpolicy) and script whitelist (noscript). Those two present me with a list of around 20 locations from where the page tries to pull in content and code, many of which will pull in more content and code. Sorry, time.com, but I already had spaghetti last night so I'll pass, I guess the list wasn't that interesting to begin with.

Nice, was looking for that...
