30 Hilarious Wikipedia Entries That Could Have Been Crafted By Comedians

One of the joys of living in the digital age is that we have a wealth of information at our fingertips. Gone are the days of traipsing to the nearest library, or paging through an old encyclopedia, to discover the who, what, when, where and hows of the world.
