Listen here, funnyman!
I could have sworn it was GBS because I don't post elsewhere.

The rules were you find a really, really obsurely geeky wikipedia page and make a small edit that only someone REALLY loving geeky would clue-in on and see how long it lasted.

For example, and mine lasted over 3 months, I went to the page for "< and >" signs and under "uses" I said it's used to communicate in thought-speak as an Animorphs reference.

Both GBS and FYAD took part in wikigroaning but FYAD was definitely more involved

actually it was a wikipedia admin who killed himself over it, cumulus clouds aka cum clouds, I don't think he was ever a goon

he was such an aspie that he had the local news and ACLU poo poo all over a local hardware store for hanging a rope hanging from the ceiling to indicate where the rope aisle is because racism.

I used to try to find the most obscure country music pages I possibly could and add into the track listings stuff like "drat I Hate Niggers 4:24" and sometimes that poo poo would last for months.

Wait so cum clouds was actually Ty Pepar? I thought so too but some goon adamantly said I was wrong the last time it was brought up.

I actually met him once or twice in Real Life™ and he was an aspie to the highest degree.

You might surprise yourself.
back in school I was reading about festers quest and it said there was an easter egg that would take you to a playground where uncle fester would just stare at the children. the same hour I found the thread in fyad and had to stifle laughter for five minutes and people wanting to know what was so funny I said it was ebaums world

ok, so let's do this then, time to thin the herd.

idk what the rules are though or how to track it. PM me your change I suppose? Then how do we pick a winner, I think we need points for items that

last til some arbitrary date (one month from now?)
get quoted in articles or on legit sites
encourage wiki discussion

anything else?

e: or I could just post the changes whene the contest is over and gbs can vote on the best one
