So much for Wikipe-tan. (And as for that ant thing ...)
This is a repeat appearance for us.

This, too, is funny because it's true.
No, it's not. It may be funny, but if it is funny, it is despite of its falsity, and
not because of its truth.
It wasn't true back in '03 or '04 when people first began really pushing that
joke - so the comic doesn't even have the virtue of originality; that criticism is as
old and stale as 'all your base are belong to us'.
Give it a try; click through Special:Random and see how long it takes to hit even a single
fictional article, much less on a nerdy topic. I had to go 26 pages before I finally
landed on [[Core worlds]], and then I went another 23 before I hit _[[Tramp Royale]]_
(although even that is debate-able as it is merely *by* a science-fiction author, and not
itself actually a work of or about fiction.)
