Those who are familiar with the long lasting quiz show "Jeopardy", will be pleased to know that "What is Wikipedia" was the correct question yesterday to the answer, "this website had Hilary Clinton's picture replaced with that of a walrus." :-D

No. 54% of the electorate would rather have the walrus as president than any of the three presidential candidates still standing.
Besides, as a bottom-feeder, the walrus is well-adapted to politics already. It has also developed a thick skin, which certainly can't hurt its chances of surviving the ordeal.

Oh, come on now. You and I both know where the walrus stands on Roe v. Wade, and exactly how many times it has flip-flopped on important issues to please the powers that be. The walrus does not have the country's best interests at heart.
Now the LOLrus, on the other hand, there's a guy with dedication to an issue...

Wikipedia has been mentioned in The Simpsons recently too:

Don't stuff beans up your nose, but my first thought was that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Overview_FAQ#What_is_Wikipedia.3F needs to be updated.
On a related note, anyone remember what that commercial was where someone makes a bet about some fact and then they look it up on Wikipedia? I remember thinking "yeah, but he probably just edited the article so he'd win the bet".

If you really didn't get the joke: he was implying that it would be amusing to have the 'What is Wikipedia?' section of our FAQ contain the Jeopardy answer ("This website had Hilary Clinton's picture replaced by that of a walrus." The 'Beans' reference is to the essay linked to by the shortcut WP:BEANS, which is on the topic of that it's perhaps not the best idea to let vandal-minded individuals know of stupid things they could do had they imagination to think of them.
