Have you ever taken a real good look at the list of contents in a Wikipedia article? Sometimes the highly specific subcategories can imply a pretty peculiar series of events. @ZeeZeeMooMoo posted a screenshot of a Wiki's table of contents out of context, prompting others to do the same. Take a look at some of the funniest Wikipedia screenshots we collected from the immensely entertaining thread. As a bonus, we have added a handful of similarly silly gems from one of our favorite themed Twitter accounts (@depthsofwiki) for good measure.
