I skimmed the page with much contentment and glanced at the "Random Article" button. I pressed it without much thought.
Now, the big moment. Which article will I get? Which article will I devote a whole blog post to? This is big. This could possibly be the biggest moment of my wikiblog connective life!
As the old page leaves the screen with white emptiness, my heart beats faster, my sympathetic nervous system kicks in, and I experience a small seizure.
I quickly recover, and look at the title of the newly loaded page. I was in disbelief! My page. The biggest moment of my life, resulted in :
Glucose-1-phospho-D-mannosylglycoprotein phosphodiesterase
...
What? This is a joke, right? Someone put that page in there just for me. Just so I would be forced to write about it, right? What is this? I dropped my head in shame, for thinking that my idea would be brilliant. For thinking my idea would even have the slightest hope of being moderately successful. What a shame. I looked at the title again. Glucose 1 phoso d mansadfaklsdfjasdlgkjasasd? There is no way I can write about this. I have no hope. I should give up now.
After the feelings of grief subsided, I performed introspection and looked upon my inner feelings. I got this page by chance. My destiny was this page, and I will fulfill my destiny. As a person I know would say, "Lets get it!"
Glucose-1-phospho-D-mannosylglycoprotein phosphodiesterase
Starting off from the top, Glucose means sugar. Sugar, so it tastes good. That's fun. Taste is fun. Who doesn't like to taste? Oh wait, I think that guy with the missing tongue doesn't like to taste. He says "It makes me choke." Nonsense, he would like this Glucose fo sho.
-1- Means 1. Number 1. The number one sugar. Beast.
Phospho. Hmm. Phospho sounds like "phosfitol." A gangster hospital. Nice.
-D- That must be the hospital owner's grade. A "d." Expected.
Mannosylglycoprotein. Sounds like a gangsta protein. Must be steroids. Crazy.
Phosphodiesterase. -Ase means enzyme. The enzyme that induce fits it all. Legit.
Overall, we have a gangstuh hospital whose owner has a moderately low GPA. At this hospital they serve the number one sugar out there, along with steroids for strength. The enzyme makes it all digestible. Some adjectives of "Glucose-1-phospho-D-mannosylglycoprotein phosphodiesterase" would be "beast, nice, expected, crazy, and legit." Hell, I'll do that.
I would explain the actual meaning of the article, except I have no idea what it means. Check it out
Not bad. Hopefully next week's random article turns out a bit better.
That's all for now, just do what you can.
Nice Jeff. That is very sad that you happened to hit that article. why couldn't you land on shag carpet or something exciting? I like the random Wikipedia idea. There's a lot out there. Have fun with that. Sometimes, I look at all the pages in the funny languages they have. It's fun too.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I will try to do a random article each week. Also I like to copy and paste a Chinese Wikipedia page into a Microsoft Word doc, and then save it to the computer's hard drive.
ReplyDeleteThey never to cleanups, so the Chinese article will be there forever...
