Live From the Internet!

by Kathleen Richards

This week we're paying homage to the glory that is Wikipedia!

More specifically, the glory that is Wikipedia photos. So without further ado, I present to you a compilation of some weird/cool Wikipedia images I've come across lately. Each one links to the article it's from, if you feel like reading, but you can also just peruse these pics free of context and marvel at the wonderful and weird world that we live in. You can also hover over the pics for image attribution information!

This picture is what I imagine that rich people's houses look like.

 

This is the most beautiful picture of a heavily polluted lake that I've ever seen.

 

Not sure what's going on here, but it looks dangerous.

 

Don't worry! Wikipedia images also know how to keep it light.

 

If you still need something to look at, here's a Wikipedia picture you can look at forever! It never stops!

 

 

And now for the real reason why we're all here...to learn the winner of the GOLDEN COMPUTER AWARD. But first, let's take a quick glance at that sweet sweet prize.

So shiny I almost need sunglasses.

Our winner this week is...mick52 because this song is awesome and also because looking at miniatures is extremely satisfying in a way that is hard to put words to. Check it out!

Congrats again, mick52!

For this week, we're doing a new challenge. Send me something from Wikipedia. It can be anything! An interesting article, a weird/cool/funny picture, or even a screenshot of a particularly odd passage. I'll read it all! I love Wikipedia and I love all of you!

I look forward to your submissions. See you next week, friends.
