Imagine the following: You're a Norwegian student and your landlord told you there's a secret room somewhere in the house...
Here's the drop-down door to the attic. You've been up there before and it's totally normal.
Exam time comes and you decide to take a break and go looking for this hidden room. You head up to the attic and poke around. You find nothing. So you just hang out.

11 Most Inspiring Things Ever Published On Wikipedia
Inspiring in the sense that you didn’t write them. From the Tumblr (and new book !) [Citation Needed] .
On our Tumblr, [Citation Needed], we publish the best of WIkipedia's worst writing. Not surprisingly, there is a ton of it. In fact, we just released our second collection of bad Wikipedia writing, [Citation Needed] 2: The Needening.
It has over 200 of our all-time favorite entries, with our own commentary for each one, plus a foreword by Mike Nelson of RiffTrax and MST3K. You can buy it in paperback here or for kindle here (just 99 cents!)
Most of these entries are incoherent, often hilariously so. So we figured they were the perfect material for those "Inspirational" images your single aunt is always sharing on Facebook, the ones that always have more likes than you could ever amass in fifty lifetimes. These are all actual excerpts from real Wikipedia entries, and there are nearly 200 more along with our commentary in our book!

"I remember everything," she told reporters after her discharge. "I remember my sister pushing me forward and everything went silent. My sister was screaming for people to take care of her. I could hear the ambulance saying she was critical."

Her doctors said Brannock was hospitalized longer than most patients because they wanted to avoid amputating her right leg, which was severely injured. She had already lost part of her left leg.

Frank Lautenberg's Senate Seat To Be Filled By Special Election This Year
The passing of the longtime Democratic fixture will push a Senate race into high gear. Christie has the option to appoint an interim replacement.

New Jersey voters will have a chance to vote for a successor to Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who passed away Monday morning, on Election Day this November, though Gov. Chris Christie could schedule a special election earlier if it is deemed "advisable," according to New Jersey law.
That will kick New Jersey's Senate race into high gear in the coming days, particularly on the Democratic side where Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Rep. Frank Pallone, who has not announced his campaign, have for months been prepping for a potentially bruising primary battle.
Booker announced his interest in replacing Lautenberg last December, before the senator had even announced his retirement — a move that roiled many in the state party apparatus, including Lautenberg.
Booker had previously said he wouldn't announce his Senate campaign formally until after this year's governor's race, in which he is a prominent surrogate for state Sen. Barbara Buono, Christie's Democratic challenger.
But the race to fill Lautenberg's seat this year, now accelerated, will push the Booker campaign into action months ahead of schedule. Pallone, a New Jersey Democrat long thought to be interested in Lautenberg's Senate seat, will also have to decide whether or not to launch a campaign.
Meanwhile, Christie could look to install a placeholder Republican in the interim, according to state law.
New Jersey statute 19:3-2 states the following:
19:3-26. If a vacancy shall happen in the representation of this State in the United States senate, it shall be filled at the general election next succeeding the happening thereof, unless such vacancy shall happen within 70 days next preceding such election, in which case it shall be filled by election at the second succeeding general election, unless the governor of this State shall deem it advisable to call a special election therefor, which he is authorized hereby to do.
The governor of this State may make a temporary appointment of a senator of the United States from this State whenever a vacancy shall occur by reason of any cause other than the expiration of the term; and such appointee shall serve as such senator until a special election or general election shall have been held pursuant to law and the Board of State Canvassers can deliver to his successor a certificate of election.
Lautenberg, the veteran Senate Democrat, passed away early Monday morning at 89 years of age. He died at New York-Presbyterian Hospital from viral pneumonia at 4:02 a.m., his office said.
Lautenberg had been considering a reelection bid for what would have been his sixth term, but decided in February that he would retire following this term.
A special election, particularly with a character like Booker, will inevitably distract from the gubernatorial contest between Christie and Buono, who is trailing the popular incumbent governor by 30 points and needs all the party support she can rally from inside and outside the state. But what Buono will lose in visibility, she could gain in turnout with Booker's name on the ballot.
Christie has not announced yet how he will proceed.

This Is The Letter Joss Whedon Sent Inviting His Friends To Be Extras In "Much Ado About Nothing"
Best party invitation or BEST PARTY INVITATION? (via Written By magazine)
Via: facebook.com
Dear Friends,
Next Saturday night, October 15th, we are throwing a film! It's very similar to a party, except people film you, you occasionally have to do the same thing more than once, and sometimes you have to mime instead of actually talking. THIS IS BETTER THAN A REAL PARTY. Because it lives forever on film, and miming means not having to come up with witty bon-mots all night, which can be pretty stressful.
Here's the actual scoop, if you're not yet in the know: We are making a film of Much Ado About Nothing at our house over the next couple of weeks. There is a big party scene at night, and rather than fill the house with strangers, we'd like to feature actual friends. If this sounds like a cheesy attempt to get free extras... Look over there at the shiny thing! Anyway, it WILL be dope. When you're not being immortalized on film, we'll host a secondary (actual) party down in the front of the house, which will not be filmed.Delicious food and drink will be provided, provided you know your limitations and don't party so hard you can't replicate your actions later on. AND...There's a conga line! YES! Life CAN be that wonderful.
The party starts between six and seven (all are welcome at six, all need be present by seven) and ends (for those called upon to stick It to the end) around two. The dress is formal but hip, and your interpretation of that is yours. (The movie is modern-day, the concept sort of a very classy—but just as drinky verion of the Kennedy Compound.) In general, the principals will have men in suit and tie, women in unassumingly elegant summer dresses, though going too far (tuxes and gowns) would only enrich the film. There will be masks for some, and costumes for a few. If you have a beloved costume, (Geisha, Fop, Roman Senator) (Nothing copywrited—sorry, all you Batmen!) Please let us know. But if you have clothes at all, I hope you'll join us in this mad, lovely venture. (If you don't have clothes at all, please contact one of us about the pool scene.)
If you are getting this, it's because we love you and think you'd look great on film, or at least one of those. If you are one of a couple, assume your honey is invited as well. There is no expectation on our part, unless you say yes, in which case punctuality and perseverance are a must. We hope you'll come. Please RSVP as soon as possible.
Best to all, Kai and Joss.
PS one final note: All of this is being done On the qt, as we'd like to roll out publicity in a timely fashion, so mum's the word. Bye-ee!
