Unusual articles

I really love Wikipedia. And I don't mean love as in 'like' or 'find very useful', I mean love in the sense of deep uncompromising positive affect. Wikipedia is without a doubt one of the most important products of the internet and the greatest general encyclopaedia in history. (For a defence of Wikipedia against old fogies, see Clay Shirky's Bloggingheads.tv discussion with Will Wilkenson).

One beautiful illustration of Wikipedia's greatness is its comprehensive and fascinating list of unusual articles. A small sampling of the fun:

• "Japanese toilets" (Japanese people can be weird),
• "David Hahn" (a 17 year old boy who tried to build a nuclear reactor in his backyard),
• "Heavy metal umlaut" (to prove your band is ütterly hardcore),
  
• "Gay bomb" (weapon the US miliarty wanted to develop to, erm, "soften up" enemies),
• "GoldenPalace.com Monkey" (a species of monkey named after an internet casino),
• "Acoustic Kitty" (CIA wanted the use cats as spies), and
  
• "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" (an example of a grammatically correct sentence that is nearly impossible to parse).
