One thing leads to another, and I find myself reading the Wikipedia article on leprechauns. I found this bit of vandalism: > [@](#): > > Leprechaun’s have large, scruptious butt’s. They are round and beautifuly sculpted. As leprechaun’s have been documented to have sang in a numbert of mythilogical tales: “Check out my hiney, it’s round and shiny!” This is the most noticeable feautures of the Leprechaun. > > Another surpassed and unnoticed detail of the Leperechaun is their large noses (See “Jews”). Leprechaun’s do not actually practice religion, but they are Jewish at heart, and it shows in their noses. > > As the stories are told, Leprechaun’s are small, clever creatures, in this section we will disregard both. Leprechaun’s are actually just midget’s in green. They run around with Channuka Gelt, and claiming it to be their gold. The short deceiving bastards. Next, we will unravel the truth about their actual cleverness. > > Tricky, smart, clever: all words that you may use to describe Leprechaun’s, or at least that is how most people would. In the previous section, we told that Leprechaun’s are midget’s. Well this means that they can’t be smart, considering midget’s are idiots. ---

Most trolls are boring. Some are actually funny, which means I can almost forgive them for consistently misusing apostrophes. ---

The best one I saw was one line, added to the “Indigo Child” entry. In a section where it talked about how to identify your Indigo Child, and other terms they are known as, someone had added: “Another term for Indigo Child is ‘brat’.” I lol’d. ---

That whole wiki idea is pretty useless. Most of the bio pieces, for example are carefully groomed by candidates and their staffs. Any hint of prior scandal is removed, even if it was public record, like imprisonments. ---

One of my favorite Wikipedia vandalisms of all time was shortly after Steve Irwin died. His page was edited to add the phrase "His last words were, “I’ve had it with these motherfuckin’ snakes in motherfuckin’ Australia, mate!’” (Although there really should have been at least one “crikey” in there.) ---

I can’t wait for some dishonest 4th grader to start his St. Patrick’s Day report with: “Leprechaun’s do not actually practice religion, but they are Jewish at heart, and it shows in their noses.” ---

Overal, a witty piece. But points are deducted for the anti-semitism and blowing the punchline - it should have been “midgets are idjits” ---

I’m not much for the anitsemitism, but [Larry the Cable Guy] I don’t care who you are, this here’s funny [/LtCG]: “As leprechaun’s have been documented to have sang in a numbert of mythilogical tales: “Check out my hiney, it’s round and shiny!” This is the most noticeable feautures of the Leprechaun.” I did _not_ know this! Wiki is so informative.
