    Wisconsin was the first state to open a State Park, in 1878, called "The State Park". What a creative name.

    I thought the wikipedia games was pick two random topic like Ducks and Hitler, and you have to get from the page Ducks to Hitler with only clicking on links on the wikipedia page. The person with the least amount of links clicked to get to said page, wins.

    Chacras de Paysandú, a sparsely populated region in Uruguay, went from having a population of 5,082 in 2004 to 3,965 in 2011. My question is: Why?

    14567 Nicovincenti is a main-belt asteroid discovered on June 19, 1998 by the Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research Team at Socorro. That's great and all, but the bigger question is: Where's Socorro?

    National Football League Properties
    The NFL branched out into comic books in the early 1990s when Marvel Comics created the character NFL Superpro. The comic book and character was widely panned and only 12 issues of the comic book were printed. The NFL also promoted Superpro at some events by using a mascot.

    I did not know they had their own comic books. They could have picked a better name though

    The Battle of Skerki Bank was a World War II naval battle which took place near Skerki Bank in the Mediterranean Sea on the early hours of 2 December 1942 between British and Italian forces, as the last naval battle held in Mediterranean during 1942.

    Oh, I sure do love reading stuff on WW2.

    Order 3-8 kisrhombille
    In geometry, the order 3-8 kisrhombille is a semiregular dual tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is constructed by congruent right triangles with 4, 6, and 16 triangles meeting at each vertex.An alternative name is 3-8 kisrhombille by Conway, seeing it as a 3-8 rhombic tiling, divided by a kis operator, adding a center point to each rhombus, and dividing into four triangles.

    I think Wikipedia gave this to me on purpose because it knows how much I hate math.
