Ok, this is how it works.
Go to wikipedia, click the random article link, and post here the article along with a URL.
Please only post one new post per day, but you can put multiple URL in one post.

If you find an article (randomly!) that is related with the topic of the day (at the bottom), I will give you 50 points.

Please be honest about it, ok?

Bonus for funny articles.

Yep. Very random.
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

Funny...a friend of mine is obsessed with Transformers...

And just to see if I can get the topic points: Ramhorn transforms into a rhinoceros beetle, which is related to the dung beetle, which eats fecal matter. So there. :D
