I think this one fits the category:

I wonder if Terri’s Law should be in there (Schiavo)

#5

The Lloyd’s Bank, er, poo

#7

Wikipedia’s list of unusual articles.

#8

“This is the most exciting piece of excrement I’ve ever seen. In its own way, it’s as valuable as the Crown Jewels.”

That made my day.

My most recent favorite hunk of Wikipedia is the Talk page for Goran Bregovic, especially the POV section.

#11

This thread made my day. :slight_smile:

#12

:eek::eek: I’m never leaving the house. The weirdest one has to be the entire football team being killed by one bolt of forked lightning!

I refuse to read that page…

#15

#16

OK then, I won’t either.

#17

I just found one today on “Figging”. Do NOT look this up from work.

#18

No, this is the weirdest one. Fuckin’ spooky.

#19

The List of Conspiracy Theories is always good for a laugh (at least that’s what the government want you to believe).

#20

Being a paleoscatologist sounds like a load of old crap.
