Not actually Wikipedia but.... And it was with this quote:

Ah, you loved me as a loser,
But now you're worried that I just might win.
You know the way to stop me,
But you don't have the discipline.
How many nights I prayed for this,
To let my work begin.
First we take Manhattan,
Then we take Berlin.
~ Leonard Cohen ~

You, like the Wikipedians, have fallen into the trap of dualism.

From the article on circumcision:

"The sexual effects of circumcision are the subject of much debate."

Think I could get away with changing that to mass debate?

This is the point in the kōan where the master smacks you.

Or, ninja. Ninja could liven up a lot of kōans.

The article as such is pretty standard (if a bit oddly detailed), but check out the page image and its filename

Great, now I have the mental image of Paul Bunyan fisting someone stuck in my head.

With a name like Paul Bunyan, it probably already does.

You have two cows, specifically the picture caption. "Two bovine mammals possibly grazing in what may be a field". Since this is a page about a joke, I am inclined to believe this was written that way deliberately.

A quick Wiki Walk brings me to "Spherical cow". Physicists have a funny sense of humor sometimes.

"La Cucaracha" ("The Cockroach") is a traditional Spanish folk corrido, that became popular in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. It has additionally become a verse played on car horns.

Great Moment in Wookieepedia: Vader Sessions.

Though if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch the movie before you read its plot synopsis. Here's the high-quality version, and here it is on Youtube.

[Darth Vader] then finds Raymus Antilles and begins throttling him. When informed by a stormtrooper that the Death Star plans Vader was looking for were not stored in the main computer, the Dark Lord mentally tortures Antilles, claiming that his "mama's going on a date... Can you dig that, a date... like a nice restaurant, some fine music". Antilles, confused, asserts that the Tantive IV is a consular ship, not associated with any Death Star plans, and certainly not involved with his mother's social life. Vader, dissatisfied, "reveals" that Antilles' mother is going on a date with him, and that she's going to "have a good time". When Antilles fails to "dig that", Vader breaks his neck, and throws his lifeless body into the wall. Rounding on his troopers, Vader justifies his actions by claiming that he's in the prime of his life, he's "gotta live the way" he's "got to", that he's "gonna make me some money again, I'm gonna fight!", and that he's "got his turn to be the Champion of the World."

This is pretty good, but is it me or does the 2003 entry sound like the beginning to a really interesting novel? I'd read it.

The best thing that ever happened to Wikipedia was "Sandbox In-Sand-ity." I could read that and crack up for HOURS.

And then they deleted it >_>

Idler: Same here, I have no idea how that won for "worst".

The 2008 one seemed appropriate though. "With its sword."

I'd probably read that one for So Bad, It's Good value, too. And the 2005 one.

Anal sex is a prevalent theme in yaoi, as nearly all stories feature it in some way.
