"I just poured HOT GRITS down my pants." Since its inception, the Wikipedia has accumulated plenty of Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense. Fortunately, these gems are meticulously collected and archived for future generations to treasure.

Sorry if this is old news -- I just stumbled onto it. I think oatmeal is my favorite; but I also like the bits about Henry David Thoreau and Emily Dickinson. There's a best of page, but I don't think it's the best stuff.

  • Man, 10 hours and I get the first comment? Man, I have to say this is a massively pedantic collection of nonsense (kinda like an anthology of Usenet kook postings) and is the kind of thing that needs an editor. Not that it's practical in Wikipedia. But there's some real gems in there if one looks around, e.g. Harley-Davidson Motor Company hello i think harley's rock and I think since some people are complaining about them that you should allow chinese to take a look at the engines and maybe it will spice them up 22.86 Centimetre Nails # RedirectNine Inch Nails Encyclopedia An encyclopedia (alternatively encyclopædia) is something we're trying to run here, and if it wasnt for goddam vandals we just might be able to do that. Dont these people have a life? Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Todd McCormick * !!!!!! First of all... you worship hitler if you think this should be deleted. While we're at it why don't we delete the article on Buddha? What's so notable about it? Expansion will come... it was just placed as a starting point. Culture of England #REDIRECT pub
