Post an interesting Wikipedia article

I find that to make the day go by a little quicker at work I will think of something that is half way interesting to me and read a Wiki article. The problem is, I'm running out of interesting topics to read about. I've already looked up Nuclear Power, Olympus Mons, Tsunamis, Marianas Trench, The Apostles, Maglev, Christian Orthodoxy, Gnosticism, MOAB/FOAB, Hydrogen Bomb, Charles Spurgeon, etc...

For some reason, I tend to enjoy reading things that show a massive display of power or something that deals with the biggest, fastest, strongest, and most destructive. Anyway, help me expand my horizons and post an interesting Wikipedia article. It could deal with anything that interests you (including people) and if you're lucky, you'll get my approval. :D

The Cadaver Synod

The Cadaver Synod (also called the Cadaver Trial or, in Latin, the Synodus Horrenda) is the name commonly given to the posthumous ecclesiastical trial of Pope Formosus, held in the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome during January of 897.[1]

Before the proceedings the body of Formosus was exhumed and, according to some sources, seated on a throne while his successor, Pope Stephen VI, read the charges against him (to which Formosus was found guilty) and conducted the trial. The Cadaver Synod is remembered as one of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the medieval papacy.

Geebus.

That must be the power behind the holy hand grenade of Antioch.

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“ ...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.[1]

this one makes me ask WHY?

The Kurdistan Workers' Party (Kurdish: Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan or PKK, also called KADEK, Kongra-Gel, and KGK[3]) is a militant Kurdish organization founded in the 1970s and led by Abdullah Öcalan until his capture in 1999. The PKK's ideology was founded on revolutionary Marxism-Leninism and Kurdish liberation. The PKK's goal has been to create an independent socialist Kurdish state in Kurdistan, an area that comprises parts of southeastern Turkey, northeastern Iraq, northeastern Syria and northwestern Iran; where the Kurdish population is claimed to be in the majority. These states oppose any such change.[citation needed] The PKK has been labelled[clarify] an ethnic secessionist organization that uses terrorism and the threat of force against both civilian[4][5] and military targets for the purpose of achieving its political goal.

ever since i was born i know PKK. they killed children, women, unarmed men for over 30 years. it is a international terrorist group. but wikipedia doesnot say so. so i assume, that doesnot serve good.
