Smile Wiki is hilarious!

Doing a search for the frequencies of different colours, I found a link to "whites". Following it, I came upon this gem...

I thought I'd paste it here before they change it!

Have you found any Wiki screwups in your searches? If you had, paste them here before they get edited out as a monument to idiocy!

Whoever that was, that wrote that definition, has definitly been reading too many news reports.

I am still trying to make sense of the Finger, Butt, Hotdog analogy.....

Re: Wiki is hilarious!

Well I don't get the "fingers in their butts" but hot dogs and playing baseball are pretty much American things, so it's an obvious insinuation. It'll be spotted as vandalism and edited out. Edit: already has been.

Re: Wiki is hilarious!

One of the strangest things I had ever seen was that someone had scrawled "nigger" onto a picture of that South Korean Scientist who faked the cloning (gah, I forget his name). I believe this is what sparked their locking of pictures on the front page.

Re: Wiki is hilarious!

its sometimes bad that wiki can be edited by anyone. wouldnt it even be a breach of the "neutrality rule" to allow this article to exist?

I remember hearing that the guy that set up Wiki had noticed incorrect information in numerous articles and was trying to make sure that it was all accurate. Apparently he didn't know that he liked playing chess until he read it on Wiki.
