You probably all know that Wikipedia is good at making articles out of things like wife carrying (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wife_Carrying) and all your base are belong to us. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us) I don't think anybody's ever decided on the weirdest one, though.
So let's do it now!
(If anybody wants articles to choose from, Wikipedia keeps a list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:UA) of these kinds of articles.)
(Poll will be coming once we decide on the top candidates.

That's good, but I can do better:Buffalo buffalo Buffalo... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo.)

Oh I did!! It just goes to show the things people are tuned on by in this world. I say, as long as there are no children involved and it is consentual among all involved, then have at it and do it safely. But thats a whole other thread!:p

The Pornocracy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rule_of_the_Harlots). I knew they had a "cracy" for every conceivable government type, but it's interesting to see just which ones of them have been tried in practice, and where. Certainly the Vatican is the first place I'd look for any pornocratic government.

Hey baby, what's your blood type? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_blood_type_theory_of_personality) I learn something new about Japan every day. At least this time it doesn't involve tentacles or a giant sucking sound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_sucking_sound).

At last, a wiki Battle article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Windmill_%28Animal_Farm%29) that I enjoyed reading!

That's a good page for finding interesting sports - perhaps for your NationState - such as Bog Snorkelling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_snorkelling), which I needed to know about.

Hell, it was even mentioned in the comparison with Brittanica...

End thread, for real this time.

The topic itself is interesting, but the really interesting thing is how detailed and well-sourced the article is. That's one of the great things about Wikipedia; there's so much room that there could be an article on navel-staring. And there is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navel_lint).
