Penis Plants to problems solved by Macgyver, Lists of unusual deaths and films including a gory death scene, as well as strange units of measure and sexually active popes, it seems Wikipedia has an article for just about everything. And not to be outdone, a list of unusual Wikipedia articles.

  • On the penis plant: The German name for this cultivar, 'Frauenglück', is somewhat more subtle than the English moniker but conveys the same meaning as it translates to "woman's luck". Hee, hee. Lustigkeit kennt keine Grenzen.
  • Interestingly, 1 attoparsec/microfortnight is nearly 1 inch/second... Now I know how to handle the next lull in conversation at the bar. Nice post, genial!
  • strange units of measure have I known it seems my tub will hold three butts a measurement that drives me nuts I know I'll confuse this with the Pinkwater so useful for seating passengers in my auto
  • The article on heartbreak is my favourite thing in the world. It is an ache, a deep ache from the core of the body. It is a longing for the past, when you had what it was that broke your heart. It is the feeling that it is not worth getting out of bed in the morning for fear of the pain. It is untreatable. It is the only emotionally related syndrome which has no definite cure, some psychologists say time is the best cure whilst doctors say that there is no cure for an emotionally broken heart
  • Great. I've already updated this entry once ("See No Evil" is mine!), and I can see myself spending a lot of time getting this list complete. Darn you, genial, for killing my productivity! ;)
  • Contrary to the typical columnar habit of the species this cultivar displays short stem sections that branches avidly, forming a low spiny bush. Well, which is it?!?
  • This is a great post.
