The Wikipedia thread

I once found anarticle that talked about how Hitler escaped from Germany and flew to Antartica where he is awaiting the perfect time to destroy the Earth with an Army of aliens. I'm not lying. The article was pretty long, but I haven't beenable to find it since then.

Sheesh I remember as a kid I was looking for brainteasers for fun and I saw that. That was so shitty for thinking on it for a long while -_-.

I just figured it out. They play some trickery on you, but $27 is the amount of money that the register and cashier have. If you multiply 3*9, that's the amount of money the women spent, which includes both the money in the register and the $2 in the waiter's pocket. $27 spent, plust $3 gotten back from the waiter = $30.

I thought his use of christianity to promote peace instead of violence and war was pretty novel.

I think this is what you are thinking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_earth

Funny thing is that people still believe it is true. Someone is actually planning an expedition this year to find the opening to the inside of the earth. You can got too for about 20 grand. http://www.voyagehollowearth.com/
 
I thought this was pretty interesting:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaaba

The Kaaba is the large black stone at Mecca. I actually had no idea it wasn't just a large black solid rock. It's a room with stuff inside and one of the corners is thought to be made from a meteorite.

And I love the Monty Hall Problem. (I don't think I've heard it called that before, though.) Some people will vehemently deny that the odds would really work that way.
 
Happened to find this page of American Idol contestants and was amazed at the number that have entries. Many finalists have a list of every song they performed.

[quote name='kakomu']All wrestling wikipedia topics are funny. However, the one that tops them all is the story on Warrior. yes, the ULTIMATE Warrior, now known as Warrior. Read and laugh!

Had a good time going through some of the wrestling entries. The talk pages can be pretty interesting on some of them (and in general across all wikipedia really.)
