Wikipedia's deadpan attitude.

It can make for some pretty hilarious articles.

"Lemon-shaped breasts" =

I 'd hard.

That was a good one you made my day.

I had to stop reading at "breasts so large they look like giant testicles."

"In Grilled Cheesus, Finn burns a grilled cheese sandwich, and believes he sees the face of Jesus Christ. He refuses to eat it and prays for three things; to win their first football game, to touch Rachel's boobs, and to be starting QB again. He wins the first football game because of Artie's touchdown, touches Rachel's boobs because they talked about their feelings, and becomes starting QB after Sam is tackled by a 300 pound, 23 year old linebacker on steroids and dislocated his shoulder, but believes this is all because of grilled cheesus. But after a talk with Emma, he loses his faith in Grilled Cheesus."

Or anything else they do on extreme issues...

All the articles on serial killers and other abhorrent things are so weird to read because of this

Needless to say, claims that Wikipedians have no sense of humour certainly have a hole shot through them by articles like these.

I still like Fail train being present.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_extreme :

Clearly the shortest distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco is not to proceed to Uranus and back. Rather the shortest distance would be to proceed directly from Los Angeles and San Francisco.

^^ That's the cover on my book for lab error analysis.

Also, I'm trying to find the picture where someone tried to merge the Robert Kotick article with the one for Satan.

It's like this was written by Martians or something.

A separate case of equivocation is metaphor:

All jackasses have long ears.

Carl is a jackass.

Therefore, Carl has long ears.

Here the equivocation is the metaphorical use of "jackass" to imply a stupid or obnoxious person instead of a male donkey.

Necroing this thread to bring you all the article on the...Sweater Curse. Don't be fooled! "This humble sweater, so goes the belief, could cause a tragic break-up."

I was thinking that had to do hockey.

The edit history on "Earth" is funny. What is "mostly harmless" supposed to be from?

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Their pages for Jizz In My Pants and Like A Boss are worth mentioning.

@Vorpy: Go read those books right now, you uncultured swine pony Vorpy.

I recall this one being funnier in the past, but it still has a couple good lines now. "The many ribald versions of the limerick are the basis for its lasting popularity. Many variations on the theme are possible because of the ease of rhyming Nantucket with certain vulgar phrases." Really??

The funniest part is that the first example ISN'T obscene. It relies on a pefectly clean pun that takes a minute or so to figure out.

"The game ends with everyone laughing at Link's general obliviousness."
