To prove you can talk about anything I am running the following ongoing experiment:
3 clicks on a Random Wikipedia article and there will be no filtering. The following articles were observed.
1. List of Mammals on the Cayman Islands
So apparently there are only two kinds of mammals on the Cayman Islands: bats and whales. That being said there are six different species of the former with such illustrious names as "the mexican free-tailed bat" (perhaps the manx cats of bats), the Jamaican fruit bat (some derogatory slur towards their choice of mates?), Buffy (the vampire slayer) Flower bat, Cuba fruit-eating bat (a healthy diet), and lastly the Cuba fig-eating bat (isn't a fig a fruit? or does the bat just refuse to eat anything else). Then there's some dolphins or something, who cares.
2. The Blade (film)
Sorry to disappoint you but this is not referring to "Blade" the super-awesome vampire movie starring Steven Dorff (and to a lesser extent Wesley Snipes). This one refers to a movie about a piece of cutlery or something and its from Hong Kong. Wouldn't it be great if all movies that were single mundane nouns had "the" in front of it. It sounds so much more forceful that way. "The Saw", "The Chair", "The Shining" (whoops, that's actually the name of a movie, but see how much more boring it would be if it were just "Shining", see QED I win)
3. Edward Baker (disambiguation)
Yay! Disambiguation page! One's a British-born American senator and soldier (wouldn't it be great if he joined the army after being a senator?) Edward Dickinson Baker. Next, Edward Baker Lincoln (named after the first one apparently and son of Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator should have emancipated his son from such a crappy name). E. C. Stuart Baker was a British ornithologist and police officer (a bird scientist, who fought crime? sounds like the lamest superhero ever). Finally, Eddie Baker was an actor who died in the 60s no doubt starring in some of those awkward transition films between the era of black and white and color, the dreaded mauve period of cinema.
