I must say that my all-time favorite moment in life just took place this week. In the process of delaying my work on a really stirring powerpoint on the hotel industry, I decided to click on over to the third-best website on the internet: Wikipedia, of course. On an unrelated note, the best website is urbanmeyerisanlikesshowponies.com, followed closely by this little ditty. But I digress.

Anyway, over on Wikipedia, I click on the venerable treasure trove of the “random article.” I mean, how cool is this? I get to mine what’s essentially the sum of all human knowledge for a single piece of information, which in the end could be wonderfully true, hilariously false, or utterly indecipherable (i.e. the story of the internet. Sigh, good times.).

My first click: Chervonopartyzansk, a city in the Ukraine. I figure there’s a 75% chance the place doesn’t exist.

Second click: Ding Junhui, the number-one rated snooker player in China. Now we’re getting somewhere.

Third click: jackpot. I won’t kill the surprise here, but it does have something to do with Hitler, a uni-testicle, and the “Colonel Bogey March.” No, I don’t think it gets any better.
