Wikipedia's article "List of inventors killed by their own inventions": Alexander Bogdanov [...] conducted an experiment with a "rejuvenation" technique wherein he deliberately gave himself a transfusion of blood from a student suffering from malaria and tuberculosis. He died shortly afterwards as those two diseases ravaged his unrejuvenated body.

Tinyurl shouldn't really be necessary, and... I've seen it abused horribly.

And so I was reborn... and no-one noticed anything had changed.

I believe that you are referring to The Spacenator.

There ought to be a crossover between Wikipedia and Batman. Although I have heard Brainiac described as being like a sentient wikipedia.

Brainiac as sentient Wikipedia is hilarious.

He's clearly a deletionist. "Your planet is not notable."

Actually, after figuring out how to break the auto-hyphenator, I've considered talking to the folks upstairs about how to possibly make it more robust. Trouble is, I don't know who to talk to now.

And so I was reborn... and no-one noticed anything had changed.

I know. Notice the spaces between the double brackets in the "failed" Pothole? I did that because the full page title has six "really"s.

The article on Scary Movie does in an in-depth plot synopsis, carefully describing and explaining every single joke

Sadly, they have long since removed all the parenthetical asides the article used to have, which helpfully pointed out all the jokes that were references to homosexuality.
