whispered_envy Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 I thought we needed a thread for all those times you've discovered something completely random on Wikipedia...I realise Wiki isn't a reliable source, but there are still some interesting things to be found on there! For instance, I learnt that February 30th actually exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_30 And there's actually a thing called Fatal Hilarity, which is death by laughter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_hilarity Anyone else learnt anything from Wiki?
Eli Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 I've learned a number of things from Wikipedia. Not as many as I have learned from Conservapedia.com though. That's the site y'all should be using for your research, y'all!
zzazzb Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 ahhh, good ol' wiki, has helped me through many school assignments and provided a good laugh or two can't quite remember any off by heart atm, but i'm sure there's more to come
HeavenForbid Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 I learned that on one calender, they have 30 days even for the months Jan - Nov (unsure about Feb) and then in Decemeber it goes up to 35 (or 36) days. I can't remember which one it was though. I'll try and find it out. Thats the one thing I can think of and its only because you mentioned the Feb 30th, lol. EDIT: I just learned that my birthday (12/12) is a doomsday date. Wonderful!
meant2live Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 I learnt that my friend was married to Josh Harnett... I suspect that she edited that one herself, thankfully I think it's been re-edited now
