Help me start my first non-poker thread.
Post interesting random Wikipedia entries about something people have never heard of or thought about much that is interesting.
Post some kind of teaser explaining why each of these articles is interesting
If this is ******ed oh well. If its been done, kill it. If not, help me waste time.
I'll start:
Giacomo Casanova
"Casanova had dug up a freshly buried corpse in order to play a practical joke on an enemy and exact revenge—but the victim went into a paralysis, never to recover."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casanova
Dona Paz
"was a Philippine-registered passenger ferry that sank after colliding with the MT Vector on December 20, 1987. With a death toll of at least 4,375 people"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Do%C3%B1a_Paz
Coconut Crab
"is the largest land-living arthropod in the world, and is probably at the upper limit of how big terrestrial animals with exoskeletons can become in today's atmosphere"
