I think just about every person on Earth now knows what Wikipedia is and most of them ventured over to the site more than a few times. Despite the fact that teachers will often look down upon using Wikipedia as a source for research, it's still an absolute goldmine of information on every little thing in our lives.

Something that happens to lots of us is that we go there to find something and end up on some completely random article that has nothing to do with the original reason why we're there in there in the first place. Hours can go by as you scour the internet encyclopedia that is Wikipedia, as you try to absorb as much random knowledge as you can.

But as it often happens, if you spend too much time on the internet you'll end up on the darker and more obscure side. That's not a bad thing though, as that's where the truly hilarious content is.

Combine that with a complete lack of context for the odd stuff you find and it's a recipe for some amazing content. Here we have some of the funniest Wikipedia entries Twitter users stumbled upon and they made sure to provide no context for these.

1. Sounds like a solid idea for a movie trilogy.

2. I guess writing wasn't his only passion in life.

3. This is just a rollercoaster from start to end.

4. Umm where can I learn more about this visionary?

5. Must have been one hell of a performance.

6. I think most of you will know what this is about but it's so hilarious without context.

7. He's been through a few hobbies for sure.

8. Is a life like this honestly too much to ask for?

9. If it's a movie I want to see it, if it's a videogame I have to play it.

10. That escalated quickly.

11. Makes you wonder if there's a word for every other number.

12. Much love for these dedicated students for keeping the tradition alive.

13. Yeah that's... interesting.

14. Definitely my first time hearing about a rump reading.

15. A short story with a happy ending.

16. Shoutout to Eric for noticing such a crazy coincidence.

17. Imagine showing this to someone who's just started learning English.

Well, that was definitely a fun read and I wanna say that I think we all learned something new today. Diving into the depths of Wikipedia can be as rewarding as it can be educational.

If you were a kid when Wikipedia started becoming more popular then you've probably taken your own trips into the more hidden parts of the encyclopedia. I remember hours of my life being consumed by the never-ending spiral you follow when you start clicking those random articles.

But regardless of age, I think there's a lot of fun to be had for everyone who decides to go check out what Wikipedia has to offer. I think I'm gonna go spend a few hours there now myself.
