I like how they have a quote from a psychic in the article. This is real journalism :P .

And I found this too:

Interesting, and gay marriage became legal in California recently.

These are AWESOME stories. Transvestite washrooms and feet washing up. Awesome-sauce'um-opposum.

Check the wiki for the truly weird stuff.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._ ... l_incident



And no, I still haven't figured out how do the neat 'this word is the link!' trick. Meh

No. I just found out Jimmy Carter (Who the F?), American president got assaulted by a swamp rabbit and the CIA tried to suppress the news.

Priceless.

Wikipedia's unusual articles is one of the best timewasting services EVER. It's great! =D

Do you spend a crapload of time in the Sandbox, just doing the internal links, charts, etc. ?

I've never used Wikipedia's sandbox, actually. I learn while editing - there's a perfectly good preview button. Also, I've done vastly more work on other wikis than Wikipedia.

Same. The range of different article subjects I've edited is insane.

I'll second that, and I've done more work on Halo and Star Wars wikis than Wikipedia.

Hmm. I doubt any of you would bother making accounts. Not too much point unless you're really into editing.
And yes I know about the preview button.

On the contrary. I can't think of a single reason not to make an account, even for one or two edits.
