Wikipedia goldmine?

[Perversion]

This will probably fall flat on its face, but I'm gonna give it the old college try. The point here is to post links to Wikipedia pages that you find interesting. Kinda like a highbrow version of the Youtube Goldmine thread....but we'll see if this goes over like a lead balloon.

Anyway, I just found this entry for Meta-jokes. Discuss or add your own link, preferably as I just did, with the name of the page as the clickable link.
