I go on wikipedia alot, and recently, i've been fiding some pretty funny pargraphs that really crack me up... just want to share :D
Domain name confusion
Intercapping is often used to clarify a domain name. However, DNS is case-insensitive, and some names may be misinterpreted when converted to lowercase. For example: Who Represents, a database of artists and agents, chose *****presents.com; a therapists' network thought therapistfinder.com looked good; and another website operating as of August 2007, is penisland.net a website for Pen Island, a site that claims to be an online pen vendor, but exists primarily as a joke, as it has no products for sale. Other examples include cummingfirst.com, website of the Cumming First United Church in Cumming, GA and powergenitalia.com, a website for an Italian Power Generator company. In such situations, the proper wording can be clarified by use of hyphens. For instance, Experts Exchange, the programmers' site, for a long time used expertsexchange.com, but ultimately changed the name to experts-exchange.com.
Leo Stoller threatened to sue the owners of StealThisEmail.com on the basis that, when read as stealthisemail.com, it infringed on claimed trademark rights to the word "stealth".
Various species of slug can reproduce via tiny "darts" of sperm which they fling in the direction of their mate's genitalia
According to When Will I Be Famous? (2003)[3], a BBC book on British variety acts, Oldfield (Mr. Methane, a professional farter) discovered his ability at the age of fifteen when practising yoga. The next day he performed twenty rapid fire rasping farts in under a minute for a group of his friends.
if you know of any funny wikipedia quotes, post em up :D
