Who else out there loves to save a primo Wikipedia page for the end of the night (last night was “the Swiss Guard” for me), pop into bed, open that bad boy up, and keep clicking tabs to hyperlinked articles until your eyelids get heavy - ThreadSky

As a big bedtime Wikipedia reader, this has been driving me insane lately

Totally. My current favorite is finding a prison’s wikipedia page and then going to notable inmates and learning about what some of my fellow Americans have been up to.

those Swiss dudes will turn your ass to Swiss Cheese with a Glock if you run up on the pope. I thought it was just spears and axes but those boys are packing heat under their whimsical medical attire

Sorry Roger but they wear Court Jester-ass outfits, last thing I need an elite guard to do is fill me with a sense of whimsy

thx4sharingjerk.bsky.social•53 days ago

They look like they work at the fucking Hot Dog On A Stick in the mall food court

Did it mention the Tom Clancy book where Jack Ryan solves the Israeli Palestinian conflict by bringing in the Swiss guards as neutral peacekeepers?

They're the varsity. Don't let the Candyland outfits fool you, they'll pull your card.

The Archer episode where they save the Pope references this.

I looked up so many things on wiki because of Archer.

Went to the Vatican this year and saw them in person. The goofy outfits almost seem like a dare for you to try something.

if you have space in your life for another daily puzzle/game, can I introduce you to Pedantle? Guess the wikipedia page: https://cemantle.certitudes.org/pedantle

My favorite is to look at college basketball/football teams and research coaches etc, and then be like how can the football coach of (insert school) not have a Wikipedia page (he coached one season in 1922).
