Welcome to the most stupendously superficial and superb Forum game you have ever set your mouse upon...
Drum roll?
[B]The Wikipedia Roulette[/B]
[I]Rules:[/I]
1. Go to [url]www.wikipedia.com[/url] and hit the Random Article link on the left sidebar.
2. Post your article and state wether you have any knowledge of the article prior to finding it.
Rating your article also gets you points. I have a whiteboard in my office with the dimensions of 15meters / 20 meters. In laymans terms - it's fucking big like. I will tally points from users and send cards to winners.
What are you waiting for?
The first article...

I'm not sure if I fully understand this game, but here goes I guess.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auchenharvie[/url]
I know absolutely fucking nothing about it. I'll rate it a 4, because either Auchenharvie place is a really boring or the article's a stub.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennet_and_Avon_Canal[/url]
I don't know shit about Auchenharvie (if that's how the game works), and i don't know shit about Kennet and Avon Canal

Now that's... interesting.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombian_National_Museum[/url]
I know nothing about this. I'll rate 6 cause it contained a cool photo.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_C._Harmer[/url]
How the hell am I supposed to know about some respublican in XIX century America.
4/10, stub as fuck.

Haven't heard about the album nor the band.
It's a simple album page with the release date, tracks, members, so I'll give it a 5, as it does the job but there's nothing special about it.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samdu[/url]
I knew that Kosi (Where Samdu is located) from playing too many strategy games and memorizing places. I know Kosi is in Nepal.
That's bout it. The article doesn't contain much but its something of mild interest. A 5.
"Sovereignty belongs to Allah" - Interesting.

Solid 7 for me.

I had no idea about it. In fact, I had to hit "random article" 23 times before I got something I knew about. Which was this: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_United_States_Army[/url]
I never really appreciated just how many tiny articles are on Wikipedia until now.

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacrosse[/url]
Looks like it's entertaining.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry_for_Freedom[/url]
Never heard of it, nor have I heard of the band that performed it. I give it a 5 because the article has all the basic info, but no interesting stuff like the song's popularity and such.
I did this before.
