Why, why, why would someone spend time writing this article?

Honestly, most of the other articles have had some value (or at least I can see why someone could think, in the throws of an aspergian fit, that it has value), but this?

People with aspergers don't understand humor. "A kite-eating tree, you say? How preposterous. I will research this anomaly and return with my report."

do you ever see a linked phrase on wikipedia that seems really obscure and interesting but it turns out to be two links next to each other

for example i saw one today that said fictional school massacre and though it would direct to a list of school massacres in fiction but it was actually two links to fiction (wtf) and school massacres

im sure there are better examples than that but i cant think of them atm

bump because I encountered this gem today

For English DJ duo, see Coldcut.
A tray of assorted cold cuts.

Cold cuts is a term that refers to cheeses or precooked or cured meat, often sausages or meat loaves, that are sliced and usually served cold on sandwiches or on party trays. They can be bought pre-sliced in vacuum packs at a supermarket or grocery store, or they can be purchased at a delicatessen or deli counter, where they might be sliced to order. Most pre-sliced cold cuts are higher in fat and sodium than those that are sliced to order.[citation needed]

Cold cuts also may be known as lunch meats, luncheon meats, sandwich meats, cooked meats, sliced meats, cold meats and deli meats. In commonwealth countries and the UK, luncheon meat refers specifically to products that can include mechanically reclaimed meat, and (pre BSE) offal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothes_hanger#In_culture

In Culture posted:

A wire clothes hanger was also a featured prop in a central scene in the 1981 movie Mommie Dearest, in which Joan Crawford, played by Faye Dunaway, enters the room of her daughter, Christina, at night while the girl sleeps, to admire the beautiful clothes hanging nicely in her closet. She then becomes enraged upon discovering that Christina has used a wire hanger, instead of the expensive padded hangers Joan provided and instructed the girl to use. Joan wakes her daughter and gives her a thrashing. Joan's fierce cry of "No wire hangers ever!" quickly worked its way into pop culture.

Commonly used as an implement for roasting marshmallows or hot dogs at camp-outs.

Unfolded wire clothes hangers, because of their use in performing illegal (mainly self-induced) abortions[citation needed] (by inserting one in the uterus), are often used in pro-choice rallies.

Alright this is pretty useless. Someone is passionate about carpets.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knots_per_sq_cm

quote:

Knot density is a traditional measure for quality of handmade carpets. It refers, quite simply, to the number of knots per unit of surface area - typically either per square inch or per square centimeter.

For two carpets of the same age and similar design, the one with the higher number of knots will be the more valuable. With more than 30 knots per square centimeter (1 sq cm = approx. 0.155 square inch), the carpet pattern will have less pixelation. The carpet's surface will also feel more solid and will give better protection against aging.

A Persian carpet with fewer than 30 knots per sq cm is generally considered an average to low-quality carpet, while over 50 indicates a fine piece of work.

Hand-tying of knots is a very labour-intensive task. An average weaver can tie almost 10,000 knots per day. More difficult patterns with an above-average knot density can only be woven by a skilful weaver, thus increasing the production costs even more.

The rugs and carpet template is something, too.
