27 Strange and Silly Excerpts From the Depths of Wikipedia

Wikipedia is probably my favorite website of all time. It's a wholesome, comprehensive, streamlined yet expansive resource for all the most and least useful information out there. You can study up on anything from ancient Roman history to Instagram Egg. To me, it's the epitome of the internet's purpose: millions of folks coming together to share their knowledge, collaborate on projects, and keep each other accountable. It's a beautiful premise… one that makes me believe in the power of togetherness. I could wax poetic about Wikipedia for centuries.

It's also home to some of the net's kookiest corners. You can get lost for hours, days, even, clicking your way from Julius Caesar to Mariah Carey back to Julius Caesar again, and probably cover some interesting ground in between. But there are also unknown depths that you'd only know to go to if you know where to look. That's where @depthsofwiki comes in, a Twitter page that has done the work in finding Wikipedia's wackiest reaches. We've got some of their good ones here.
