Now I'm going to sing the Perry Mason theme

Daniel Malmedahl (born 1980) is a computer components salesman from Gothenburg, Sweden who is best known for developing the "ring ding ding" voice of the Crazy Frog.[1] The sound was created while trying to create an imitation of a two-stroke moped engine. In late-2003, Malmedahl's fellow Swede Erik Wernquist encountered the sound effect and was inspired to create the 3D animation "The Annoying Thing" (Crazy Frog) to accompany it.

Philip Sandifer, in a conference paper, looks at the phenomenon of ghost data as an example of the demo in video games. He argues that the demo, generally speaking, represents a "pure act of play" that creates a pseudo-player Sandifer calls Player ε — the null player. This allows a hypothetical dynamic of play, as opposed to one that is bound up in an actual physical contact between a real player and a real video game controller.

In the case of ghost data, Sandifer argues that the game uses ghost data to create a Player ε who exists at the exact threshold of the actual player's ability and the theoretical "ideal player" that all video gaming fantasizes about being. When the ghost character is finally overtaken, Sandifer claims that it gives "the feeling of breaking through the constraints of a particular and flawed performance of the implied player into a sense, albeit a false one, of perfect harmony with the game. This perfect harmony is then, at the end of the race, literally encoded into the game as the next Player ε when the player’s run becomes the new ghost data."

The company was sued in 2003 by Charles Grady, who claimed that his throat had been damaged because of eating Doritos. According to him, the shape and rigidity of the chips made them inherently dangerous. Grady attempted to admit into evidence a study by a former chemistry professor that calculated how best to safely swallow the chips. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court later ruled that the study did not meet scientific standards and could not be presented as evidence.

barbara blackburn (actress) had the only "barbara blackburn" page on wikipedia and the title didn't needlessly specify her actresshood. it was a stub saying that she was in the dark shadows remake and it existed because a wikisperg watched the show once.

then other wikispergs read a guinness and knew what had to be done.

except that after the disambiguation page had been created and vapid oval office actress barbara's page had been appropriately retitled the wikispergs got distracted by trains and anime and never got around to writing typewriter barbara's article.

then everybody realized that the original barbara probably didn't need an entire article anyway and it got deleted after a painful protracted bureaucratic process. since wikispergs can't let anything go they left up the disambiguation page for POSterity.

On January 30, 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill customer who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia, Domino's restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation, and a copy of The Widow's Son, Noid surrendered to the police.[5] After the incident ended, Police Chief Reed Miller offered a memorable assessment to reporters: "He's paranoid."[6] Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

there was a funny line that i wanted to quote but then i noticed the one under it and then i realized that i'd just end up copying the whole article.

so i did:

Artist's poo poo (Italian: "Merda d'artista") is a 1961 artwork by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni. The work consists of 90 tin cans, each 30 grams and measuring 4.8x6.5cm, with a label in Italian, English, French, and German stating:
Artist's poo poo
Contents 30 gr net
Freshly preserved
Produced and tinned
in May 1961
At the time the piece was created Manzoni was producing works that explored the relationship between art production and human production, Artist's Breath ("Fiato d'artista"), a series of balloons filled with Manzoni's breath, being an example.
A tin was sold for €124,000 at Sotheby's on May 23 2007;[1] in October 2008 tin 083 was offered for sale at Sotheby's with an estimate of £50-70,000. It sold for £97,250. The cans were originally to be valued according to their equivalent weight in gold — $37 each in 1961 — with the price fluctuating according to the market.[2]
One of Manzoni's collaborators, Agostino Bonalumi, claimed that the tins are full not of faeces but plaster;[3] in contrast Manzoni's girlfriend Nanda Vigo, who helped him produce the cans, claimed the contents really were faeces.[citation needed] Vigo's assertion is disputed by Manzoni's brother and sister.[citation needed] An art dealer from the Gallery Blu in Milan claims to have detected a fecal odour emanating from a can.[4]
The piece received media coverage due to a lawsuit in the mid-1990's, when an art museum in Randers, Denmark was accused by art collector John Hunov of causing leakage of a can which had been on display at the museum in 1994. Allegedly, the museum had stored the can at irresponsibly warm temperatures. The lawsuit ended with the museum paying a DKK 250,000 settlement to the collector. [5]
