Nifty Pages[edit]

The Voynich Manuscript - A hoax or just illegible?
Alexander "Sawney" Bean - Legendary head of a cannibalistic family
Monty Hall problem - A counterintuitive solution that's nevertheless quite neat.
The First image on the Web!
Eric Brewer and Paul Gauthier, Canadian National Hockey League Players, are also the names of the founders of Inktomi. Crazy, eh?
Note: these links go to to the NHL players' pages, as the Inktomi founders' pages do not currently exist. Maybe you want to edit Eric's page? Or create Paul's?
Watch the K-Foundation Burn a Million Quid - The members of the K Foundation burn a million pounds. Read it, it's interesting.
Emperor Norton (c. 1815 - 1880) - the self-proclaimed emperor of the United States.
Fan death - the belief (held almost exclusively by South Koreans) that sharing a closed room with a running electric fan will lead to death.
Smart Alec (1951 film) - Possibly the first porn film, though I mainly put it on here because it has {{spoiler}} in it. Seriously? For a porn film?

Mojibake - I love that there is a name for this.
Mammalian diving reflex
Stendhal Syndrome - "there are many descriptions of people becoming dizzy and fainting while taking in Florentine art, especially at the Uffizi"

Paraprosdokian: "a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part."

Zeugma: "a figure of speech describing the joining of two or more parts of a sentence with a single common verb or noun.", e.g. "Mr. Jones took his coat and his leave".

For me: Template:Redirect
