HuffPo has come up with a list as long as Ellen DeGeneres's life, and it's pretty lovely stuff.

For example:

She's always early.

She doesn't think humor should be mean.

She did the voice of Dory in Finding Nemo.

She came out.

There are also items about Ellen's motto, her personal campaigns, her push-ups, her celebrity interactions, and her dramatic reading of Fifty Shades of Grey.

I just hope that when Abe Vigoda turns 92 on February 24, they can come up with 92 reasons.

No, scratch that. That's mean humor!

I've seen rumor-y things that she's mean to the people who work on her show which,if true, is creepy.
