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

haha. you don't know how to make a link.

quote:

Continuity within game universes

While it may not seem like it at first, many of the series of games do, indeed, involve each other in subtle ways that the developers may just want to sneak in, or otherwise. The ClueFinders games, although part of the same product line, appear to be set in their own universe.

Locations
The primary locations of the Reader Rabbit series are in Wordville. On the Wordville map in the front of the Reader Rabbit 3 User's Guide, Treasure Mountain can be seen. This seems to suggest that the two worlds are located relatively close to one another. Another location is Shady Glen, at which all the Super Solver games take place.

Crossovers
Though Operation Neptune seems to be outside of the fantasy realm of the other games, one of the prizes in the Circus in Math Rabbit is the Neptune.
In one of the data logs found in Operation Neptune, one of the scientists references Ancient Empires as one of the ways the scientists on the space exploration journey like to pass the time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_lord_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)

this page goes on for an eternity about fictional demons

also a table of "Known demon lords" complete with citations

you can tell it's about to get good when this happens:

quote:

The most common and canonical demon lords in the 3.5 Edition (and generally most of the earlier editions) are Baphomet, Dagon, Demogorgon, Fraz-Urb'luu, Graz'zt, Juiblex, Kostchtchie, Lolth, Malcanthet, Obox-ob, Orcus, Pale Night, Pazuzu, Sess'Innek, Yeenoghu, and Zuggtmoy. However, in addition to these, countless other minor demons have appeared in earlier editions, supplement books and Dragon Magazine, spinoffs from D&D, and other sources. Beneath is a large list detailing all known Demon Lords, both the major ones listed above and minor ones.
The majority of these demon lords below appear as listed in Appendix I in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss. (f) indicates a female demon lord, (o) indicates an obyrith, (l) indicates a loumara, and (d) indicates a lord that is presumed dead.
Note that any demon lord who was mentioned by name only in the Monster Manual II (1983), on page 35, is noted as "*MM2".

Earth (IPA: /ˈəː(ɹ)θ/, often referred to as the Earth, Terra, or Planet Earth) is the third planet in the solar system in terms of distance from the Sun, and the fifth largest. It is also the largest of its planetary system's terrestrial planets, making it the largest solid body in the solar system, and it is the only place in the universe known to support life. It is also the densest planet in the solar system. The widely accepted scientific theory states that the Earth was formed around 4.57 billion years ago[1] and its natural satellite, the Moon, was orbiting it shortly thereafter, around 4.53 billion years ago. It is the largest planet in the world.

For a public restroom stall with a dispenser holding two rolls of paper, Donald Knuth proposes classifying users into big-choosers (those who take paper from the roll that is currently larger) and little-choosers (those who do the opposite). Letting p denote the probability that a random user is a big-chooser and q that of a little-chooser, Knuth uses contour integration and generating functions to find the expected number of sheets left on the larger roll when the smaller one runs out. He shows (Theorem 1) that if | p − 1 / 2 | is of order at least , then
(crazy formula fyi)
where r is an arbitrary parameter larger than 4pq and n is the number of sheets in a roll. He also separately analyzes the case where p=q.[81

Aleksei Vasiliev posted:

City police departments respond to countless[according to whom?] complaints regarding fights which break out between neighbors, as a result of disagreements over parking chair usage.[citation needed] Because those who ignore parking chair traditions are legally in the right,[citation needed] police officers can do nothing but tell the offended party to leave the scene. This lack of resolution tends to both promote a sense that vigilantism is an acceptable alternative and often irreparably[according to whom?] damages relationships between neighbors.[citation needed]


In cities where informal parking markers are prohibited, residents are more likely to help each other to effectively clear streets and dig out from a heavy snowfall.[citation needed] Parking chairs tend rather to disincentivize such behavior,[citation needed] given that a space can be informally reserved at the exclusion of ones neighbors.[original research?] Residents acting selfishly are also more likely to shovel snow into other potential parking spaces rather than away from the street, creating large snow mounds which create limited parking situations to begin with.[citation needed] City snow removal vehicles must also frequently remove chairs before plowing, which reduces their effectiveness at street clearing.[citation needed]


someone got mad at this article

in boston it's actually legal to have a parking chair for up to 48 hours after a snowfall ends. if you take somebody's parking chair you will almost certainly get at least your tires slashed. people here are ruthless about their parking
