about the /top & wires

I’m considering making /top grab weblogs.com’s changes.xml file rather than blo.gs’ one. The latter just seems to return less blogs, or not to grab data from weblogs.com regularly enough.
May is calling me names because of this very /top list.

Off-topic question:
In the movies, why do the bad guys always use wires of different colors when they make bombs ? After all, it only helps the good guys to make a guess about which color is the right wire to cut. IMHO, to make sure your bomb explodes, you should use wires of the same color, and intertwine them in crazy fashion, effectively decreasing usability. Of course, while you are making your bomb, use detachable labels to recognise the wires.
But should we expect bad guys to think about such simple unusability matters, or should I just stop thinking about ways to secure villains’ business ?
