An interesting AfD I closed recently might be useful for a comedic, yet serious, take on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Public_restroom...

Hi all,
I'm doing a comedy-science talk on Wikipedia with the theme of 'histories' at a [[Bright Club]] Manchester early next month. My current plan (which is still subject to change) is that I'll talk about the histories of Wikipedia articles, and show some interesting/amusing changes made to articles.
An example would be this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guantanamo_Bay_Naval_Base&diff... which was a change purported to be made by the FBI back in 2005: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:64.165.110.114
If you know of any interesting diffs/article histories that could make people laugh, then please could you send me some pointers to them (preferably offlist)?
Thanks, Mike
