Did you know... that the pun riddle “What do you call a spicy missile? A hot shot!” was generated by computer as part of computational humor research?

Article life[edit]

I decided to click the "Random article" button several times to test some statements in press and blogs to the end that wikipedia is dominated with articles/wikipedians dedicated to porn stars and pokemon, and was pleasantly surprized that my a dozen or so clicks missed both any stars and any video-games/furry/video topics. I was happily clicking "Random" until a short stub article with weird title "Cratylism" caught my eye.... Laudak (talk) 08:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Initial page[edit]

Can anyone clear up what is meant by this in the article and if it still needs to be there?

Opening section[edit]

The opening section sounds like hogwash. Is there any actual meaning to it? 184.89.225.223 (talk) 23:18, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
