The depth of weirdness on Wikipedia is fascinating and a source of endless amusement. You can troll entries and quibble over various points of fact and fiction, but the real whack stuff lies slightly hidden from view on the discussion pages that accompany the main articles. In addition to the more serious raging debates on varieties of Pokemon, you can find gems such as this meeting of future Nobel prize committee members.
It's an exhaustive debate about what exactly constitutes 'pop punk' and was apparently authored by a network of chimpanzees wearing Doc Martens and consuming way too much candy. It's entertaining to say the least.
If this is indicative of the kind of scholarship that lurks behind the average Wikipedia entry you might wanna rethink consulting their safety guidelines for d.i.y. bathtub amphetamines.
Just saying, that's all.
If you have ever engaged in this argument, please stick your wet hand hand in the nearest toaster.
