Exhibit A (Michael Robison): "There, he was an unlucky loser at Wembley again, in the 1986 Football League Cup Final 0–3 defeat by Oxford United."

It's been edited now, but Larry David's wikipedia page used to have a "citation needed" on growing up in a Jewish family in what I can only presume was a set up for a future Curb episode
Citation needed??? I practically invented the Jewish family!
You gotta edit that motherf***er Larry |  | | |

what is this 1986 League Cup Final you talk about???? |
Yet again, I must rise like a salmon going upstream to bring clarity to the misinformation and fake history peddled by so called, football historians!
The 1986 League Cup Final was a two-legged affair; the first leg of which was played at Loftus Road and where QPR took a slender one-goal lead north to Liverpool for the decisive second leg.
Liverpool were chasing an historic domestic treble that season, and would eventually lift both the FA Cup and First Division title (the First Division being the precursor to the Premiership for anyone under the age of 35).
At Anfield that night, 3,500 of us stood in the away end expecting a right effing shoeing both at the feet of Liverpool FC and the hands of their notorious fans. Instead, courtesy of some frankly, unprecedented Scouser generosity, we ended up drawing 2-2 after they scored two oggies. The equaliser coming close to the end and making it nervy for us Rfosi there present, as we wondered if we'd get back south alive and in one piece for the celebratory bus ride around the Bush to mark our winning of the League Cup, 3-2 on aggregate. I know this to be the fact, as I was at both encounters, and that is what I saw.
The match against Oxford, I think, was a charity game or such like. Unlike the night George Cornell bought it in the Blind Begger pub when every black cab driver, geezer, wannabe geezer and their good ladies were all present; only a sprinkling of QPR fans even bothered to go to the Oxford game.
Now recalling events, due to a waterlogged pitch, the match was switched to Wembley Stadium on the morning of the game and if memory serves, we barely mustered 40,000 Rfosi there on the day; most of whom were there for the Wembley Market and just happened to wander in to the stadium to see what we thought was Reading v Oxford playing for the M4 Cup.
Only the girth and tash of Robbie James (RIP) gave it away and upon closer examination, the flowing locks of John Byrne confirmed it was QPR playing in the M4 Cup.
Those there will recall there were fisticuffs around where the sprinkling of Rfosi fans congregated on the day. This was a bit of a snafu between us and Reading fans; miffed that they hadn't made the M4 Cup.
Meanwhile, a few miles away, QPR were parading the Milk Cup in an open-top-bus ride from Loftus Road to a civic reception at Hammersmith Town Hall, which we all missed in the confusion, as we trapsed home from Wembley.
Very confusing day all round for some Rfosi, as they ended up on buses heading back to Elm Park; and have never been seen again. |  |

The Milk Cup of 1986, or “Milk World Series” as it was known, was uniquely decided on a Best of Seven game format. In an attempt to expedite the timetable, the season’s league fixtures were rolled up into the tally, but an already demanding schedule was further complicated by the controversial decision to settle drawn games with a replay rather than extra time and penalties, a requirement for games 2, 3 and 6.
The series is best remembered for the only televised match, the replayed Game 2, staged on a neutral ground and won by Oxford. However, the lack of television coverage and the extended format, hindered by fixture congestion and subsequently abandoned, meant that QPR’s eventual victory in Game 6, played more than 10 years later in August 1996, escaped the notice of all but the most dedicated afficionado. |  | | |

Maybe my favourite passage from Wikipedia.
The most famous legend of Störtebeker relates to the execution itself. Störtebeker is said to have asked the mayor of Hamburg to release as many of his companions as he could walk past after being beheaded. Following the granting of this request and the subsequent beheading, Störtebeker's body arose and walked past eleven of his men before the executioner tripped him with an outstretched foot.
Nevertheless, the eleven men were executed along with the others.
My big take from that is the executioner must have been on piece work. Literally being paid per head. |  | | |

I once had a website that was all about mad fking Wiki entries.
The '80s TV series Airwolf (basically Knight Rider in helicopters) is a goldmine of wiki madness. This is just the bit about the main character.
Stringfellow "String" Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent): When Stringfellow Hawke was ten,[2] he and his parents were involved in a boating accident. He was rescued by his brother St John, but their parents drowned. After the death of his parents and the subsequent death of his girlfriend in a car crash, Stringfellow grew to believe that anyone he loved was destined to die tragically. In a U.S. Army mission during the Vietnam War, Stringfellow was separated from St. John; Stringfellow was rescued, but St. John was not. St. John was subsequently listed as M.I.A., causing Stringfellow to further withdraw from society. Stringfellow had a Master's degree in applied physics and, while often hot tempered, could be pragmatic. An avid fisherman, Stringfellow ate fish, but refused to eat red meat; he also refused to wear underwear. Stringfellow lived in seclusion in a log cabin by Lake Hemet (outside Los Angeles) with his Bluetick Coonhound "Tet" (named after the 1968 communist Tet Offensive), where he serenaded eagles on his priceless Stradivarius cello. Hawke had a remarkable collection of rare paintings, which his grandfather collected for his grandmother.[1] |  |

Excellent review of Jo Whiley.
Quote
"her on-screen style that seems to inspire the main rage – a decades-long, squirming awkwardness that makes her look as if she's about to corkscrew right off her chair and start drilling into the ground. This awkwardness extends into her conversational rhythm, which is angular – possibly free – jazz – in origin."[24] | |

Peter Wyngarde who played Jason King, the most ridiculous character in British TV.
Quote
Although it affected his image, particularly with his audience who largely identified him as the ladies' man Jason King, Wyngarde's homosexuality was actually well known in acting circles, where he was known by the nickname of "Petunia Winegum."[7] | |

Pyongyang Golf Club Crest
In 1994, Park Young-man, the course regular, told Australian journalist Eric Ellis that Kim Jong-il once scored a 34 on the course. Park continued that Kim achieved a birdie or better on every hole and had five holes-in-one. Later, this claim was further embellished to say that he had scored 11 holes in one, and that this was on the first round played at the course in 1987, and there were 17 bodyguards who witnessed it..[4][5]
11 holes in one!! I was playing in a four ball behind him and it was nine!! | |

Too busy calling him 'C*nt' if they've got any sense.
This isn't an irrational hatred from me by the way. Years ago on an interview with Channel 4, he was talking about the planet and said something like 'those of us who are more socially conscious' and then looked at the camera and made a peace sign. But he did it in a sort of smug fking way.
And I'm there thinking, hang on C*NT weren't you the same C*NT on that Volvo advert. Between selling Volvos and flying around on world tours, you've done more to fk the planet than anyone.
Sanctimonious fking piece of shit. | |

A great story from Primus bassist Les Claypool's Wikipedia entry:
After the death of Metallica bassist Cliff Burton in 1986, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett encouraged Claypool—his friend and former schoolmate—to audition as Burton's successor. In the Metallica episode of the documentary series Behind the Music, Claypool said that he jokingly asked the members of Metallica if they wanted to "jam on some Isley Brothers tunes" during the audition, a reference to his lack of experience with Metallica's thrash metal style. He later recalled that Hammett had given him a copy of Metallica's 1984 album Ride the Lightning, which he enjoyed, but overall "wasn't a big metal guy" and did not realize how popular Metallica had become until he arrived at the audition.[3] Metallica frontman James Hetfield said that Claypool was not offered the job because "he was too good" and "should do his own thing". Claypool responded by admitting that he "wasn't the right guy" for the band due to being a self-proclaimed "weirdo", and stated his belief that Hetfield was just "being nice" with his comments.[3]
"Isley Brothers tunes"  |  |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |
