Wikipedia; the fountain of forbidden knowledge. Is it accurate? Is it all made up? Who cares!

Wikipedia was founded in 2001 and has been an essential tool for researchers of the online persuasion ever since. If you grew up in the 2000s, you remember being told by your teachers not to use Wikipedia unless you want to get a big fat F on your paper. That threat put the fear of God into many young Wikipedia users. Although not peer-reviewed in the technical sense, Wikipedia is a very convenient source created by countless selfless contributors. You know that because you've been asked to give them money. Please, just $5 for a sickly Wikipedia editor.

The website has a page about nearly everything in this world and beyond; with that wealth of content, they can have some pretty funny stuff. Wikipedia is incredibly hilarious when you see it stripped down without context.
