Interesting Wikipedia Pages

Wikipedia is a great place for free learnin’. Even though it’s all a bunch of made up stuff by people on the internet, it’s still generally a reliable source for information, just don’t make life-threatening decisions based upon it. Anyways, there is a breadth of information there, on stuff you might not think to look for, or maybe even never would want to look for. Here are some of my favorites:

• The Buttered Cat Paradox - Everybody knows a cat, when dropped, will land on its feet. And toast, properly buttered, will land on the buttered side. So what happens when you butter a cat? I’m entrenched firmly in the levitating-cat-theory camp.
• Telluric Currents - Electric currents that move through the Earth.
• Ass-to-Mouth - You never go ass to mouth.
• The Interesting Number Paradox - The first sequential number that is declared to have no interesting properties, becomes interesting by virture of the fact that it is the first non-interesting number.
• 0.99… = 1 - Math, bitches!
• Numbers Stations - These things will never cease to fascinate and spook me.
• Markovian Parallax Denigrate - Like numbers stations, but on the internet!
• Colors of Noise - I wonder who decides these things.
• Aldus Manutius - A famous 15th century publisher.
