Wikipedia pokes fun at itself

If you get a chance, you should check out Wikipedia:Silly things. If you think the behind the scenes work at Wikipedia is boring or irrelevant, think again. This page highlights minutiae like "bad jokes and other deleted nonsense," which displays the heights of (non-offensive) vandalism; "April Fools," which is the best humor posted April 1, and a "List of really, really, really stupid article ideas that you really, really, really should not create."

My favorite is probably Wikipedia: Deleted articles with freaky titles. Since I love lists, I always scroll right to the "list" section under the letter L and look at what gems this article features. Among them:

List of convicted drunk drivers who have become president of the United States 

List of Dads Who Make Other Dads Eat Bugs

The article itself was completely blank, but the talk page just read "my dad".

List of movie posters with lamps in them

          The list contained one item – Mission: Impossible – with a footnote saying "NB: does not contain lamps."

 And my favorite:

List of people who are alive or are dead

Motion sickness

A quote:

When feeling motion but not seeing it (for example, in a ship with no windows), the inner ear transmits to the brain that it senses motion, but the eyes tell the brain that everything is still. As a result of the discordance, the brain will come to the conclusion that one of them is hallucinating and further conclude that the hallucination is due to poison ingestion. The brain responds by inducing vomiting, to clear the supposed toxin.

So your brain decides you're hallucinating and then just leaps to the conclusion that it's because of poison? And then makes you throw up? Man, your brain is either a jerk or it just decides on a course of action without much thought.
