We don't have to tell anyone that Wikipedia is an invaluable wealth of interesting information and historical facts. But have you ever gone down a deep Wiki k-hole? It's like diving down to the ocean floor and discovering creatures of the unknown. For example, did you know 'Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo' is a grammatically correct sentence?

It's pretty wild to imagine yourself in a scenario where you're literally being interrogated by the authorities because of a purely fictional spy story that you wrote that just so happened to come way too close to a real life spy situation.

Weird history knowledge is fun.
