Occasionally, HN'ers post some really interesting Wikipedia articles that I didn't know existed, and are fascinating reads, so I personally like them. For example, that was how I learned about Pando[1], thought to be the heaviest known organism, and one of the oldest.

Remember, according to the guidelines, on-topic is,

> Anything that good hackers would find interesting.

Some of us fine obscure Wikipedia articles interesting.

To be fair, it was an incredible interesting article about how most, if not all, cases of spontaneous human combustion were likely caused by external flames.

and this isn't even the best random shit on Wikipedia
