Wikipedia maintains a catalog ofBad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense(BJAODN ) – it ’s the good of the bad hooey added to Wikipedia . Here , I present 11 excellent pieces of dumb humor that was deleted from Wikipedia … but then retained on a best - of Thomas Nelson Page , because it ’s just thatbadgood .
1. Water on Mars
On April 1 , 2004 a Wikipedia drug user discovered lurid proof –
photographic proof
– of water on Mars . The photograph was posted to the heart - laden article " ♥ Water on Mars ♥ " and the double is still retained ( Creative Commons license and all ) on Wikipedia , though it carry this sheer warning :
A Wikipedia editor program annotate : " apparently , there is also glass and a plastic wrapper and now MY jaw ! "
2. The Cross-Eyed Teacher
Wikipedia’sPupilpage had this section insert :
Wikipedia editor in chief followed up with :
3. CPGM
A minuscule Physics humor :
4. Y0-Y0 Ma
Y0 - Y0 Ma is not to confused withYo - Yo Ma , the famous cellist . Apparently Y0 - Y0 is a nonhuman actor . Okay , just read this glimpse into some Wikipedian ’s insaneness ( and/or sentience of sense of humour ):
5. A Tip on Cow Tipping
This briefly appear on theCow Tippingpage ( stress add ):
An editor then inserted:“Such caliber of humor is rarefied . "

8. Alternative Rock/Missing the Point
The varlet forAlternative rockfeatured this alternating definition , including an patently earnest try by an editor to verify it was decently source :
9. Voltaic Democratic Union
TheVoltaic Democratic Union , which is actually a thing , startle out as a " stub pageboy " ( starting compass point ) feature the text:“Shocking , just shocking ! "
10. Baby Catapult
From the now - deleted " Baby Catapult " page :
An editor noted:“I , for one , am disappointed . "
11. C is for Cookie
This mini - essay on the rhetorical form of Cookie Monster ’s discourse was add up to the pageC is for Cookieand then , lamentably , removed .
Another addition was an entire part titledOther Things start out with the Letter C , include Carrot , Crabcakes , and Cucumber .
Way, Way More
There ’s awhole page of this , and it include links to several more " best of BJAODN " lists . One of my front-runner in those extra lists isa spoiler - filled plot summary ofThe Very Hungry Caterpillar(with philosophical commentary ) .
