What Wierd In The World Of Wiki’s

Pickled Dragon

July 5th, 2008 · No Comments

When I saw the title of this wiki article it really grabbed my attention. Apparently it was supposed to have been created by the Germans in the 19th century. The pickled dragon in a jar was given to the British natural history museum and was supposed to fool them into believing it was a real dragon. In reality though the dragon in a jar was created for the BBC tv series walking with dinasours.

Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them

July 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Who would have thought that a simple funny T-Shirt could stir up so much controversy? That’s exactly what the T-Shirt with the slogan Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them did. So much so that it actually sparked national debated and caused the t-shirts to be removed from shops. Of course as with all good controversy all it did was manage to boost sales :) Read all about Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them in their own wiki article.

Guy Goma - The BBC Tech Interview Mistake

July 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

This mistake by the BBC news was a classic but it’s non the less impressive to see that Guy Goma got his own wikipedia page. It looks like Guy got his 15 mintues and then some more. The mistake started when Guy went to the BBC for a job interview (it was originally reported that he was a cab driver which was actually incorrect. Through some classic mix up he ended up appearing live on the BBC news being interviewed about a recent Apple court case. Read all about Guy on his wikipedia page below and make sure you watch the video.

Toliets in Japan

July 1st, 2008 · No Comments

What better way to start off this blog than a post about the toilets in Japan. Yep, welcome to the wierd world of wiki’s. Hard to believe that people have created a wiki page about the toilets in Japan (and quite a long page at that) but it’s true. If you read the page you can see why. With all the features going in those toilets it’s worth deicating a whole page to. In fact I wouldn’t be suprised if some of the wiki page was created while sitting on one of those Japanese toilets, enjoying all the features they have to offer.
