it appears to have been edited again, not by me:

"Endless, Nameless" (Hidden track) (Cobain/Hongro/Cuomo/Urkel/Nirvana)

Portions of the name sound like vulgarities in English and Spanish, leading to its use in various jokes. Titicaca is the lake that Cornholio, alter-ego of Beavis of MTV's animated series Beavis and Butt-head, claims to come from although he believes the lake is located in Nicaragua.

The word 'Trekdom' is used interchangeably with 'Fandom' when referring to Star Trek Fandom or their fans and has been in use by fans of Star Trek fans for several decades.

After the recent cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise, the future of Trekdom is still uncertain, though it has been scaled back to its own core. Some may believe that Trekdom might die off, or it might be extinct at the onset of such conflicts such as World War III.

"Plus, all the slang..."
But shouldn't the 81 be called a 010?

Was what I found at the top of the page when I checked wikipedia a few weeks before starting a class on the Reformation.

Cultural imperialism at its WTF-est:

Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão GCL (born José Alexandre Gusmão, on June 20, 1946) is a former freedom fighter who became the first President of East Timor since independence from Indonesia.
(...)
His nickname, "Xanana", is taken from the name of the 1970's rock and roll/comedy group Sha Na Na.

On a radio interview, Trina said that the relationship was more of a "brother-sister" relationship. Later, on Victoria's RapBasement, Lil Wayne said he knew nothing of the rumors. During Wayne's childhood, he mistakenly got thought of as a gay guy but late he dismissed all these claims by watching naked gun 33 and a third.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil_Wayne#Personal_life

And in the next chapter:

"Lil Wayne and Trina have recently ended their porno relationship, which was stated by Lil Wayne, himself, on BET's 106 and Park."

Did someone misspell "promo"?

(Phil) Hartman met comedian Paul Reubens while working with the group and the two became friends, often writing and working on material together. One such collaboration was the character of Pee-wee Herman and the script of the feature film Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Hartman also met Jon Lovitz while with The Groundlings. Hartman was fluent in German and a video circulated once of him doing a standup routine in the language.

Hartman worked part time as a graphic artist, including designing album covers for popular rock bands. Hartman's covers include:

* Steely Dan's 1977 album Aja
* Poco's 1978 album Legend
* Firesign Theatre's 1980 album Fighting Clowns
* Three album covers for the band America
* Crosby, Stills & Nash's logo.

(Rolf) Harris has played the didgeridoo on two albums by English pop singer Kate Bush, 1982's The Dreaming and 2005's Aerial. His biggest hit, however, was a gimmick-free rendering of the sentimental song "Two Little Boys" (1969), a departure for him in that he usually recorded either his own compositions or traditional songs. Harris also created one of his most famous roles in the 1960s, Jake the Peg.

concerning William Huskisson, the first person to die in a railway accident:

A curious fact about Huskisson is that some years before his death, he narrowly escaped being killed when a horse fell on him during his honeymoon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Huskisson

This is part of the entry for a village called Heol-y-Cyw, a small village near where I live (Heol-y-Cyw translates as Chicken Street, by the way):

The village, and its surroundings, have approx. 600 inhabitants. One of the newest, and surely one of the most exotic of all is... a peacock.

Actually though there were peacocks at one of the nearby farms as far back as the 1970's because I sat on them.

"Also, Heol-Y-Cyw has been the subject of apparent UFO and unexplainable noises from inside it's forestry interior."

Oh yeah forgot about that bit.

Actor Marcus Graham:

Graham was going out with Nicole Kidman but he found out the relationship was not longer working when Nicole came to visit him in Melbourne with Tom Cruise after filming "The days of thunder" in the States. His flatmate told her Graham is not in when he actually was at home crying.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Gerrard

Aged 14, Gerrard had trials with various clubs, including Manchester United. In his autobiography he claimed that this was "to pressure Liverpool into giving me a YTS contract." During this time he had an accident involving a rusty garden fork and could have lost his toe

Wikipedia also thought it was worthwhile putting in a redirect from "Stevie G"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courteney_Cox

Cox is also notable for being the first person to use the word "period" on U.S. television in its physiological sense, in a 1985 advertising campaign for Tampax brand tampons.

....wonder who said it first in a punctuation sense?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_B.

In 2007 Eric was honored by the President of the United States with an invitation to the White House where he met President George W. Bush, the First Lady and other dignitaries.

I heard dude was a hardcore gangsta, but DAMN!

So someone presented Eric B. for (the) president!

Paddington Bear - The toy bear was first made at Adwick Bear Garden by Jeremy Clarkson's mother.

^^^I knew that

Well you could have told me.

While shooting the stunt where Marty is being hanged by Tannen and his gang, Fox offered to try the stunt without using a box to stand on. He then miscalculated where his hand would slip between the rope and his neck, actually hanging himself, causing him to pass out. It was originally thought that there was a connection between Fox's Parkinson's symptoms and this incident.

From Laos national football team:

The 2006 Thai comedy movie Lucky Loser was originally filmed to be about a soccer team from Laos, but was later re-edited to replace Laos with a fictional country named Arvee, after complaints from Laotians, as the film mostly plays on stereotypes of Laos. Ironically, in the finished product, Arvee has made it to the second stage of World Cup qualifying as a lucky loser, just as Laos had really done during 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification.

"stereotypes of Laos"

The crux of Brandt's argument can be summed up with these paragraphs from the Salon.com article.

When you type "NameBase" into Google, Brandt's site comes up first, but Brandt is not satisfied with that. "My problem has been to get Google to go deep enough into my site," he says. In other words, Brandt wants Google to index the 100,000 names he has in his database, so that a Google search for "Donald Rumsfeld" will bring up NameBase's page for the secretary of defense. For some reason, though, all of NameBase's deep pages -- its pages with specific names and citations -- have a low Google page rank, which causes them to show up low in the search results. Search for "Donald Rumsfeld" in Google and in the first five pages you get a lot of .mil and .gov sites, some news stories, and some activist sites. Namebase's entry on Rumsfeld doesn't come up. (It is in Google's database, but to find it somebody would have to first wade through hundreds of results.)

heave ho?

"stereotypes of Laos"

http://i7.tinypic.com/21e3l7o.jpg

Just because Western people may not have stereotypes of Laos, that doesn't mean such stereotypes don't exist in, say, the neighbouring countries.

u right, just making a cheap joke.

"Thong Song" placed first in a St. Paul Pioneer Press reader poll to determine the worst song in history.[128] It has also been labelled as sexist.[129]

Ironwood is the only known place in the Upper Peninsula to ever host a professional sports team, with Ironwood hosting the Northwest Football League's Gogebic Panthers in 1935 and 1936. Their 1935 campaign was immensely successful as the Panthers finished with a 6–1 record, their only loss coming to the eventual league champion La Crosse Old Style Lagers. Their 1936 campaign featured a 6–0 victory over the Madison Cardinals, who folded a few days after the Lagers defeated them 100–0 in an effort to kick them out of the league

Demi-relatedly, I appreciate this section on Bessemer, Michigan:

This section was made by somebody who lives in bessemer. However because of that, this part does not currently have citations.

Logging and fishing is a large part of the culture of Bessemer, Logging because people use wood stoves to heat their homes in the winter, And fishing for the reason of sport & as an hobby.

In vehicles, Electric cars are completely out of the question. As there are no electric car charging stations. And also there are a large portion of pickup trucks, they are good as they are easy to throw wood onto without damaging the truck, while also not being a hefty semi truck. So in that way it is perfect for logging. And its also not as small as a SUV which also has an roof in the way.

Hunting is also another part of the culture, both for sport and for the food that comes out of it.

Another part of the culture is how Bessemer is more attached to its locacllity to the UP rather then the state of michigan. Also see the Superior (proposed U.S. state) article. The citizens take pride in how they are locals and how the town is not a corporatized city, As they like the towns overall atmosphere.

was looking up the fall's peel sessions, couldn't remember how many they did. the wiki article on the Peel Sessions 1978-2004 is very nearly baroque. someone actually put in a table:

Among the 97 total tracks on The Complete Peel Sessions, the following were cited as highlights of the set by at least one critic from the aforementioned reviews:
Tracks cited by one or more critics as highlights of The Complete Peel Sessions 1978–2004:

my favorite thing is that this table _includes the number of critics who named the track as a highlight_

there's also this in-line parenthetical note:

"Jingle Bell Rock" (Bobby Helms cover; with substantially different lyrics to the original 1957 song)

my favorite of all has to be the editorial note added to rob fitzpatrick's review of the release:

In France, John Peel would have surely have been hung [sic?] in the town square long before he, or his favourite-ever band, the Fall

it's that little question mark that does it for me. like yes, wiki editor, perhaps fitzpatrick _was_ indeed suggesting that john peel would have had a monster cock were he french.

unusual details, Eli Roth being a dick:

Roth originally wanted Cerina Vincent to show her naked buttocks during her sex scene with Rider Strong. Vincent, who had previously played a nude foreign exchange student in Not Another Teen Movie (2001), was afraid that exposing too much of herself would lead to being typecast as a nudity actress and vehemently refused to bare her buttocks.[citation needed] At the peak of this conflict between the two, Vincent told Roth that if he wanted the shot so badly, he would need to re-cast the role with another actress. But they managed to reach a compromise, in which Vincent showed one inch of her buttocks on camera before Roth measured it for it to be precise. Bedsheets were then taped to her backside at the designated level and the scene was filmed.[15]

After the song reached 500,000 sales in the UK, the Nottinghamshire County Council honoured KWS with a civic reception.[60]

The Leader revolves around the life of German philosopher Karl Marx, focusing on his political and economic theories, his romance with Jenny von Westphalen, vorarephilia fantasies and his friendship with Friedrich Engels.[3]

i'm gonna be honest, i _suspect_ that third bit is a troll, but i've seen enough anime that i'm _not actually sure_.

does wikipedia have an official editorial stance on the oxford comma?

Rainer Zitelmann, a real estate expert, argues that language like "Eat the Rich" is prejudicial, perpetuating stereotypes, and engaging in classism.[14] He also says that it can serve to dehumanize people wealthier than the speaker and poses risks of inciting violence.[15]

guys guys guess what

this dude is also a wehraboo

no fucking way, right?

Year: 1933
Song: "Rapaz Folgado"
Artist: Noel Rosa
Target: Wilson Batista
In response to: "Lenço no pescoço"

This samba was sung in Brazil, by Noel Rosa, as a critic for the singer Wilson Batista, in the context of the golden age of Malandragem culture. The song started a musical dispute between artists that is probably the first diss track recorded in history.

He described it as "an out-and-out Hitler camp" and was also concerned about the quantity of poison ivy on the campgrounds.[5]

According to Schaffer's attorney, while Schaffer was held at an Indiana jail, other inmates made death threats against him, and threw feces at him.
