# Lazy journalists
What a lazy bunch of idiots. When the UEFA cup draw was made a few weeks ago, me and a friend changed some of the information on the wikipedia page for Manchester City's opponents, AC Omonia.

We included this titbit in the 'Fans' section - 'A small but loyal group of fans are lovingly called 'The Zany Ones' - they like to wear hats made from discarded shoes and have a song about a little potato.'.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Omonia#The_fans

Today, the Mirror has used part of this in their pre-match buildup.

Hahahahahahahaha!

# This reminds me of the time when I invented a title for a Simpsons episode
I was running a Simpsons site, and a future episode's plot was announced, but not the title. It was the one where Skinner asks Edna to marry him. As it didn't have a title at the time, I used the placeholder of 'Love and Marking'.

A few years later, I hit 'guide' on my remote, only to see "Love and Marking" as the name of the episode to air later that day.

It was very weird, but quite cool.

Wikipedia is an amazing resource, but if it keeps on getting abused it'll get taken away, and we'll end up having to pay for information.

I don't want that, do you?

Good post. Funnier than a lot of the images on here that don't get any hassle, and unlikely to get half the visibility on links that it will get here.
