Here's a boring game for you all to play, which I read in a Charlie Brooker article. I found it funny because one of his random article was for Nukie Assaults "Something Wicked". Go onto wikipedia.org, click English and then click on "Random Article" 3 times, and tell us what you got and abit of a summary. It'll be fun, I swear.

Here's mine.

1. James L. Nederlander
James L. Nederlander of the famous Nederlander family of Detroit, Michigan, is also known (somewhat incorrectly) as James Nederlander, Jr., and is a veteran on Broadway as a theatre owner, operator, producer and presenter. He is the president of the Nederlander Organization and the son of James M. Nederlander (chairman). He has a wide range of credits; as a theatre owner since 1970 and as a producer since 1984.[1] James Nederlander is a minority owner of the New York Yankees.

2. Advanced Digital Recording

3.Roselands FC
Roselands Soccer Club (Roselands FC) is an Australian soccer club based in the inner-western area of Sydney. Roselands FC's long-established home ground is Bennett Park. Roselands FC has traditionally been one of the biggest and best supported clubs in inner-western Sydney.

To be fair, that was the most boring thing ever.

1. Chattampi Swamikal (b:1853 - d:1925) was a Hindu sage and one of Kerala’s famed religious and social reformer. Chattampi Swamikal along with his contemporary Sree Nārāyana Guru, reformed the then heavily ritualistic and caste ridden Hindu society that prevailed around the late 19th and early 20th centuries across the present-day Kerala


Nice beard.

2. Strongylognathus kratochvilli is a species of insect in family Formicidae. It is endemic to the Czech Republic.

That's the entire article.

3. "Everything Counts" is Depeche Mode's eighth UK single (released on July 11, 1983) and third US single (released on November 2, 1983), from the then upcoming album Construction Time Again. The single is a pivotal release in the band's career, as the members attempted to transition from the pop numbers of their early years to a more sophisticated sound; it would be the first single of the transition period to hit the Top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #6 in 1983. It was the first in a long line of industrial-inspired singles released by the band, and has been referred to as "arguably...the first English-language industrial pop hit."[1] The single was re-released (in live format) on February 13, 1989 (March 25, 1989 in the US) to support the live album 101.

In summary, that beard was as good as it got.

Charlie Brooker letting us down? Surely not.

Bastard (Law of England) A bastard in the law of England and Wales was a person whose parents, at the time of their birth, were not married to each other. A person conceived to a couple not married to each other but who subsequently marry before the birth would not be treated as a bastard.[citation needed]

Unlike many other systems of law, there was no possibility of post hoc legitimisation of a bastard. If the parents married after the birth, the child would remain a bastard.


WIN!!! Haha, can't be arsed doing anymore.

At junior school, I remember not knowing what "bastard" actually meant, and no one else seemed to either. The closest explanation someone gave me is "IT MEANS YOU AINT GOT A DAD!!", which I accepted - with considerable confusion - for some time.

More embarrassing still, for many years I thought thunder was the noise of clouds "rubbing together" - I only pieced together the fact that it's the actual noise of lightning relatively recently (well, within a few years ago)!

(George) Dudley Erwin (20 August 1917 – 29 October 1984) was an Australian politician and briefly Minister for Air.[1]

During World War II, Erwin served as a flight lieutenant in the Royal Australian Air Force as a navigator in No. 31 Squadron and was involved in the South West Pacific. Prior to enter politics, he was an electrical radio engineer and a farmer. He also became a successful hotel-owner in Ballarat.[2]

Erwin was elected for the Liberal Party as the member of the House of Representatives seat of Ballarat at the 1955 election. He was Government Whip from February 1967 to February 1969 and strongly supported John Gorton's election as Liberal leader following the death of Prime Minister Harold Holt on 17 December 1967. On 13 February 1969 he was appointed Minister for Air, in the reshuffle following Paul Hasluck's appointment as Governor-General. Gorton subsequently appointed one of his young staffers, Ainsley Gotto as private secretary and came to rely on her for political advice. In November 1969, Erwin was left out of Gorton's second ministry.[3] Erwin's explanation for his dismissal was:

It's shapely, it wiggles and its name is Ainslie Gotto."[4]

Erwin chaired the Joint Select Committee on Parliamentary and Government Publications, which produced the first edition of the Australian Government Style Manual.[2] He retired from parliament at the 1975 election. He died of a heart attack and was survived by his wife, Gwenda and three children.[5][6]
