Thread: Post something cool you learned on Wikipedia

    That Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was created by lifting footage from a Japanese TV show named "Kyouryuu Sentai ZyuRanger", filming a bunch of English-speaking actors and splicing the footage together to make it look like they were one and the same, and that the reason they changed costumes so dramatically in Zeo was because they were using footage from "Chouriki Sentai OuRanger" and so on.

    Learning all this got me back into Power Rangers, as well as getting me to start watching Super Sentai. The original switch to Zeo alienated me as a fan; after learning why I pretty much forgave them on the spot.

    Hahaha, I totally learned that from watching Sister Sister, back in the day. xD

    Anyway, I learned too many things from Wikipedia. And I can't remember any of it at the moment. :o

    I learned that you can be access pages dealing with Naziism from anywhere on the site by following the right links.

    -Search "shoelace"
    -Click on the "shoe" link
    -From there, click on "Blüchers" (under Men's Shoes)
    -From the list given, find and click "Blücher Order"
    -Click on the "German Democratic Republic" link
    -Scroll down a bit and on the right side of the page their should be a 'History of Germany' box. It shouldn't be too hard to find the "Nazi Germany" link.

    I did this with a bunch of other stuff (like Kool-Aid) when I was bored in class one time.

    I learned that ninjas really, truly used to have magical shoes that allowed them to run on water.

    Most of the world would've, especially if you ever listened to/heard some of her music.

    I've listened to some of her work (I LOVE "It's Oh So Quiet"), but I guess I just don't pay enough attention...
