Funny things on wikipedia

[Captain Intrepid]

Every once in a while I run into things written on Wikipedia that make me laugh. I just saw this one today, and completely agree with it.

Rum is also very good on its own, and its flavor can only be improved by adding more rum to rum in a glass. Experts advise against adding ice, because that makes the rum cold and inhospitable.

That sounds like the Pretentious Wine Talk(tm) that I hear a lot of.

There are two wikipedia quotes I'm fond of using on websites where you're supposed to describe yourself. The following is on my profile here..

Traffic cones were originally invented in 1914 by Charles P. Rudabaker. Though at first wrought from concrete, today's versions are more commonly brightly-colored rubber cones.

And this one I use on Facebook and MySpace...

In opposition to music that may require education or formation to fully appreciate, pop music will have a noticeable rhythmic element, catchy melodies and hooks, a mainstream style and traditional structure.

Well after this discovery, nothing else surprised me in terms of the entries in Wikipedia.

I believe that particular edit was done at the request of Stephen Colbert, to demonstrate wikiality.

I think it was the librarians. They're hiding something.

It was the goddamn dead sexy elephants that caused it!

Watch the video-link at the bottom of the page. It's like a Voyager episode sans the "plot."

The funniest line I've encountered on Wikipedia is from this page devoted to LGBT symbols:

"There is ongoing debate in bear communities about what constitutes a bear."

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Holy threadmancy, Batman!

I think someone has a full time job reverting edits to the page for Gloria Allred. Go look at the history and some of the revisions people have made there. There are apparently a lot of people who don't like her.
