Wikipedia Has a Sense of Humor
April 7, 2007 | 2 Comments
Every once in awhile someone adds a bit of bunk to an article, or creates an article on a crazy topic in Wikipedia. I had always assumed these things were quietly giggled at by the creator and whichever editor stumbled upon the entry. However, these entries are diligently cataloged and saved in the Wikipedia page: And now for something completely different… Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense.
Here is a sampling of my favorites:
From God:
The Biblical God’s full name is usually given as Ronald God, and he is usually characterized as being married to Thomas the Nun, an 80-year-old holy woman. Together they are said by some manuscripts to have one son, Zeke, but some scholars argue that Zeke God is intended as a symbolic character rather than a concrete personage.
From chicken
I eat chicken poop for dinner because it is part of my medicine i need to take for my disease
From “WikiVandal”
a “WikiVandal” is someone who goes into Wikipedia and edits articles in a purposefully destructive manner.
Phrase Coined by a bored University of Washington student who decided to try editing The Pope’s article to say “Being gay is totally awesome. it is not a sin. people who think it is are SO taking what my dad said WAY too literally.” however, this is not a new concept. people have been malevolently altering articles to say things of this nature on a near-endless basis, and are the bane of wikipedia. most are immature children with nothing better to do, or drunken college students who are bored out of their booze-addled skull.
From Old People
Old people are people who are old. Old people often retire from their jobs.
From Peke
A peke is a small yellow creture that lives in homes.(Not your home.) Pekes can talk and walk just like a human. Pekes like warm places. Pekes worship ketchup. A peke has no brain. All that is inside a peke’s head is a wind-up monkey bashing simbols together and possibly a few tumble weeds. Beware:Pekes are deadly beasts that like violence and things that go boom! Cation:Peke may explode!
From Mikey chait
A large, semi-useless person with an athletic build. He enjoys long walks on the beach and attending to his mother. He likes ice cream, especially chocolate. It tastes like chicken to him, because he has four tongues. If you see Mikey Chait, report it to the police immediately and run for your life. When you get home, eat three pies and spin around fourteen times while holding your left fourth finger on your nose.
From Hobophobe
The irrational fear that gangs of hobos could decend from the nearest train yard and take over your town, much like zombies in the living dead movies. The smell of cheap alcohol, the sight of a barrel fire and even old beat up tan coats have been known to send Hobophobes into a state of panic. Hobophobes aren’t able to control this all encompassing fear of the more transient element of society and have even been known to move to places where there are not railroad lines for hundreds of miles in order to feel safe.
There are hundreds of other funny postings here, many to long to quote, specifically, go read these: Mallpunk, Auburn Junior High School, Hot Dogs and Incest, Dizzytron, Bedworth, peanut balancing, or Suv tipping.
This entry is hours of fun, have at it.
