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=14999825&oldid=14999213
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
