Puma Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Every so often while I am skimming through Wikipedia I will notice an article that contains something totally random that obviously doesn't belong there. For the most part, Wikipedia does a good job of keeping everything accurate, but sometimes things fall through the cracks. Most are identified and eventually removed. Here's an example of something I found today on Matt Damon's wiki. "Damon was drafted in 4 wars including Vietnam, Korea, WW2, and the intergalactic war of 2613. Shorty after his dropship landed he was shot in the leg by a laser beam. Damon was given a purple heart and was teleported back to 1987 where he applied to Harvard and was accepted." Another one I found was on Jeffrey Loria's. It has since been removed, but it said something like "Loria is a wanted man in the city of Montreal along with his shady son (Samson)." Have any of you ever come across something like this? If so, feel free to share. Keep in mind, this is the authentic Wikipedia, not joke wikis like Uncyclopedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica.

It was removed within a minute. LMAO During Spring training in 2010, the Florida Marlins announced that Miller would be assigned to their AAA minor league team, the New Orleans Zephyrs to open the 2010 season. He was called up to the Major League club on August 18th. Miller has been consistently ranked as one of the worst players in the major leagues today. This is from Andrew Miller's Wikipedia. I've seen a lot of funny ones but I've forgotten where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
