Wikipedia: Unusual articles
Fascinating collection of articles at Wikipedia with rather unusual subject matter.
Some samples:
Douglas Corrigan - A pilot who made such a grave navigational error that, after taking off from New York, he landed in Ireland instead of Los Angeles.
Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 - A name given to a Swedish child by his parents in May 1996.
Sokal Affair - A famous hoax played by physicist Alan Sokal on the postmodernist humanities academics world.
Meow Wars - Perhaps the largest and longest-lasting flame war in the history of the internet.
They also have another page:
Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense.
Well there go the next couple hours...
