Wikipedia is to the sum of human knowledge what McDonald's is to food: it gets the job done if you're hungry (for knowledge), but it is not always to be relied on for a balanced diet (for the mind).
Most pages on Wikipedia are about useful things, and are looked up by millions of people every day. However, there are dusty corners of this most useful and excellent website that are never visited by earnest seekers after knowledge, and that are mostly greeted with laughter and social media shares.
In the pages of this book, you will find excerpts from some of the craziest Wiki pages that exist. Some questions you might have after reading them:
1. Why do they exist?
2. How did anyone even acquire this data?
3. How did the editors keep a straight face while compiling the information in these pages?
4. Will anyone believe me if I tell them that these pages exist?
Read on to answer these questions for yourself, and to feel simultaneously amused, bewildered, and mind-blown.
