Checklists are Sexy!

As an aspiring pilot, I have the necessity of "consulting the checklist" drummed into my head at every turn.  Checklists eliminate the weakest link from a complex system - that of a human brain, overwhelmed with sensation, trying to remember a number of important things.  They're effective and necessary, and save lives every day in the air.  

I believe that they have a lot of uses outside of flying that we're not exploiting right now.  Like in critical business functions, or like this.
