Hanukkah came early this year.
Sexuality of Abraham Lincoln

Lots of history/political sperglords spergin about this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sexuality_of_Abraham_Lincoln

It's got everybody: people who worship Lincoln, people (southerners) who hate Lincoln, homosexuals looking for acceptance and a confirmation of their importance to American history/society, spergin' wikipedians who can't make up their minds, etc.

It even went through three rounds of deletion challenges a few years ago.

It maybe the longest talk page on wikipedia that doesn't mention autism.

Wikipedia posted:

Wikinfo was launched in July 2003 as "Internet-Encyclopedia"; it was a fork of the English-language Wikipedia, meant to hold multiple articles on subjects from different points of view, instead of Wikipedia's policy of a single neutral-point-of-view article.[29]

what does all of this translate into? I'll let the articles speak for themselves

Love-shyness

Wikinfo posted:

Love-shyness is a form of chronic, severe shyness of men or women who have never been able to form sexual or emotionally intimate loving relationships with others, but who have been constrained to remain that way because of severe shyness in informal social situations involving possible sexual partners. It is believed to be the result of a genetic-biologically rooted temperament, and of learning experiences with peers and family.

Love-shyness can be found among people of all ages and of both sexes. However, research evidence indicates that the problem impacts far more severely upon males than it does upon females. Shy women are just as likely as non-shy women to date, to get married, and to have children.

Love-shyness is a life-crippling condition. Victims of love-shyness are unable to marry, cannot have children, and do not participate in the normal adolescent and young adult activities of dating and courtship. Moreover, the heterosexual love-shy are often misperceived as homosexual. The never-married, heterosexually inactive man has long been known to be vulnerable to all manner of quite serious and often bizarre pathologies. In most cases, these men do not allow themselves to become involved in anything or in any activity, wholesome or otherwise, for which there is any kind of existent social support group. The love-shy do not have anybody to relate to as a friend or to count on for emotional support.

Love-shyness afflicts approximately 1.5 percent of most male populations. More succinctly, love-shyness will effectively prevent many of its male sufferers from ever marrying and from ever experiencing any form of intimate sexual contact with others.

Greater Portland has an Uwajimaya, which is an Asian supermarket and department store combined into one. It's got good (if expensive) produce and a zillion different high-quality teas. They sell lots of rice cookers and that sort of thing too.

In a different suburb, there's an H-Mart. H-Mart is like the K-Mart of Asian grocery stores. Uwajimaya sells really nicely prepared foods from their deli. H-Mart sells kimchi by the pound in a plastic bag that has been spun around and then tied in a knot. To H-Mart's credit, it is refrigerated.

H-Mart also sells the rice cookers and that sort of thing. Except they have two models to choose from, both are Chinese knockoffs of nice brands and I wouldn't really trust them to boil water, let alone cook rice without burning down my house. Right next to the rice cookers was a toilet seat topper that turned any toilet into a modern marvel of bathroom hygiene. For only $35, you too can something that will shoot water at your butt after you poop.

gaze upon something even wikipedia thinks is worthless

Gheb

Wikipedia posted:

In-game

Gheb is a boss encountered on Chapter 9 Ephraim's route in the game Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and a fad on the Gamefaqs board.

Gheb as a boss is very easy to kill, if you know what you're doing. Even though he has a massive 18 str and a killer axe to boot, he doesn't move from his throne and misses a ranged weapon. This makes it very easy for ranged characters like Neimi, Lute, Arthur and possibly even Amelia (if you equip her with a Javelin). If you plan to use Amelia, I suggest you give her a Javelin and let her try to kill Gheb. It Should be a considerable EXP boost for her. The other best ways are to kill Gheb using ranged attacks, or weakening him with those so a melee character can kill him.

Gheb's Stats: LV 5 HP 45 Str 18 Skl 8 Spd 6 Luk 1 Def 13 Res 5 Con 16 Mv 6

The Fad

In 2005 Gamefaqs troll, Naglfar05 started to write fanfics about Gheb and the fact if you read in between the lines about his dialogue it suggests he is going to rape Tana and possibly Amelia. His most famous fanfic was about Prince Lyon of Grado reviving a dead Gheb and having sex with him. This sparked a fad that grew and eventually overshadowed the Batta, Glass and Kiwi fads of the Fire emblem 7 board. Naglfar05 wrote more stories about Gheb and it grew to such epic proportions that it even got its own social board on other websites and anyone who went on any fire emblem board past 7 would eventually know who Gheb is.

Aftermath

Like all fads it has died down and after peaking around 2006 some people still make joke topics such as "Who is this Gheb" and I wish (Random fire emblem character)'s head is bald". People have gotten tired of the fad to the point that if anyone even mentions Gheb, Fort Rigwald or anything associated with Gheb they will flame the troll with flames as hot as the fires of hell.
