This is pretty funny I think... Maybe not that weird of a Wikipedia article though.


I feel like 95% of SC2 players suffer from this


Man, this is so true. The better i get the worse i realise i am, and then when i hear my -diamond-platinum friends talking about their understanding of the game it makes me cringe so bad, even though i know i was the same at their level.

I feel like you only realise how bad you are at this game when you get to mid masters, and i say that as a mid masters player, so maybe i am still over exaggerating my skill ^^


This isn't true, I'm a silver player and I refuse to use a keyboard, it just slows me down. Last night flash played and won a game without a keyboard. All you gold + players can call me a noob for not using a keyboard, but now that the best player in the world doesn't use one I think a lot of players owe me an apology.


Not so subtle troll.

Why does anything sarcastic or satirical have to be a "troll?" It was meant to be a joke.

Dyatov Pass Incident
Pretty creepy...



Was going to post this!

This is extremely creepy.. If anyone missed this, it's worth the read.

On topic: Wow, that is odd. Maybe one day the current Russian government will release what really happened there, sounds like some sort of secret nuclear experiment or maybe the hikers found something they weren't supposed to see.


http://www.cracked.com/article_16671_6-famous-unsolved-mysteries-with-really-obvious-solutions.html

A different point of view. (#6 on the list)

Cracked is a lot of fun, but whever I see an article I already know about something about, I spot half a dozen factual inaccuracies, omissions, or misconceptions. There's some good stuff, but be careful about taking it too seriously. Half the time the article disagrees or takes significant liberties with the sources they manage to site.

The "Bloop" is an interesting one.

"The roughly-triangulated origin of the Bloop is approximately 950 nautical miles (1,760 km) from the more precisely-described location of R'lyeh, a sunken extra-dimensional city written of by H. P. Lovecraft in his famous short story The Call of Cthulhu.[9][10]"

Ironically, that cracked page does not account for the severe chest wounds. May it be that a big agressive bear decided to use those victims as a punching bag ? or a pillow ?

Definitely. As much as I enjoy reading Cracked articles, the very matter of fact tone and presentation of only one viewpoint lends it a little more credibility than it probably should. That being said, I guess we'll never know for sure what happened there because the article said the records were destroyed [citation needed].

Myself and an old roommate of mine used to play Wikipedia Golf. You randomly pick 2 seemingly unrelated Wikipedia articles, and try to get from the first page to the second page in the shortest amount of clicks. Lower score wins.

I.E. Miley Cyrus and the U.S. Moon Landing.

How many related pages does it take to get from one to the other?



We used to call it The Hitler Game

Can you get to Hitler in 5 or less links?

Dirt... yes dirt... can get there...

Why did I spend so much time on this ;_; But I got there in 3 clicks!

Ohhh yeah I totally remember that game! These are so fun haha, I think the most common one is being able to get to philosophy no matter what, and oftentimes exceedingly easily too. But Wikipedia Golf sounds cool too :3

Sometimes when I feel sad by Roger's being old and slower and much less dominant/clutch/what have you, I look at Federer's career statistics and feel a little better. But then I also remember that he isn't what he used to be based on that formidable resume ;; seriously though, that stat sheet is monstrous.

I was goofing around on Wikipedia before op happened to post this and was reading some serial killer pages, particularly Albert Fish and John Wayne Gacy. Funny to see reading through the responses that other people here have been looking at them too.

Currently going through the weird wikipedia articles link. This is gonna take all day. Wikipedia is great.
