Ah, Wikipedia…
All you ever wanted to know about crazy ass things, including dividing infinity by negative zero (-0 article).
- I love how the “your mom jokes” page has the title “Mother insult.”
- RAS Syndrome is freaking great
- Accessory Breast would be a GREAT band name.
- So would Panamax (that would be a good theatre name, too)
- The fact that there is a syndrome called Uncombable Hair Syndrome gives me hope for this world.
Also: further proof you have to love Sweden:
- Högertrafikomläggningen—the name of the day the country officially switched to driving on the right.
- Children named Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 and Metallica in protest of naming laws. “…Because the parents failed to register a name by the boy’s fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined them 5,000 kronor. Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996…”
Yay.
Today’s song (Treasure Fingers Index): Tortoise by One Hand Loves the Other
WLAJF
I’ve had this feeling every once and awhile, on those (very rare) days when things just come together and work out.
Pants Famine!
Hahahaha, what the hell, human race?
“Other schools, Kashasha itself, and another village, comprising thousands of people, were all affected to some degree.”
Also, why does StumbleUpon keep linking me to these weird epidemics?
Choreomania!
This is the greatest thing EVER. We NEED TO START THIS.
“…the populace danced wildly through the streets, screaming of visions and hallucinations, and even continued to writhe and twist after they were too exhausted to stand.”
Rock on.
Choreomania! would also be a great musical.
“Colonel-in-Chief Sir Nils Olav is a King Penguin living in Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland”
And that is the opening sentence to one of the weirdest Wikipedia pages ever.
Dear Wikipedia: You Rock
So…
Today I was messing around on Wikipedia, as usual, and I ended up on the “list of extinct species” page. I scrolled down and eventually landed on the “Stag-moose,” an extinct deer (apparently) that lived in North America. Aaron remarked that “Stag Moose” would be a good porno name, and I agreed after I read the sentence, “The first evidence of the stag-moose found in modern times was discovered at Big Bone Lick, Kentucky.” So, of course, I then had to click on “Big Bone Lick,” which took me to a page that opened with, “Big Bone Lick State Park is located at Big Bone in Boone County, Kentucky. It is located on Beaver Road and between the communities of Beaverlick and Rabbit Hash.”
After that, it all went downhill.
“It is bounded on the south by Big Bone Creek, which empties into the river at Big Bone Landing. The northern extent is along Hathaway Road, and the eastern portion extends not further than U.S. 42, and is approached from that direction by Beaver Road coming from Richwood.”
“The area was named after the extraordinarily large bones.”
“Even the first maps noted it as “the place the big bones are found.”
And now we must all take a road trip to this place of enormous bones.
WOO
This makes me very happy. That is all.
Time for random article prayer
Because Wiki is god and because stuff like this is awesome.

And completely unrelated…

The first sentence is freaking epic.
Continental Rationalists to Porn: The Joys of Wikipedia
Here is a new game I propose we start:
Wikipedia: Six Degrees of Separation
Rules:
1. Select a random topic (person, place, thing, whatever) and find its article on Wikipedia
2. Click on a link in the article that leads you to a different page
3. Repeat this process for each new page you are brought to
4. See if you can reach the “Pornography” page in less than or exactly six clicks
5. Write down your starting subject and steps and post them in your blogs
Here’s an example (or examples, I guess) to get you started. Here are my three starting points: Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, and Gottfried Leibniz, the three Continental Rationalists, and the steps that got me from their articles to the pornography article.
Starting point: Rene Descartes
Click one: Amsterdam
Click two: Red-Light District
Click three: Pornography
(Haha, that was fast, eh? You’re a dirty boy, Rene.)
Starting point: Baruch Spinoza
Click one: Atheist
Click two: Moral Universalism
Click three: Sex
Click four: Sexual Intercourse
Click five: Sexual Arousal
Click six: Pornography
Starting point: Gottfried Leibniz
Click one: Ethics
Click two: List of Ethics Topics
Click three: Family Values
Click four: Pornography
Hahaha, this is awesome. Leibniz to porno in four easy steps! Life is complete.
