20 Still-Working Foreign Language Wikipedias To Keep Wasting Your Time

Who cares if English-language Wikipedia was down for 24 hours? Don’t let that stop you from your daily procrastination – everything you’d ever need to look up on Wikipedia is still there, it’s just written in foreign languages that you probably can’t read, which makes them EVEN BETTER FOR PROCRASTINATION.

To keep your workday random and unproductive, here’s everything you need from Wikipedia on 20 Non English Wikipedias That Are Still Working.

WHOA! It’s Grown-Up Haley Joel Osment!

Here’s the trailer for Sassy Pants (in 3D haha), some indie movie or something co-starring Ashley Rickards, Anna Gunn (Skyler from Breaking Bad) and Diedrich Bader (Oswald from The Drew Carey Show), but which mostly grabbed our attention because of the surprise big-screen return of a now 23-year-old Haley Joel Osment:


It’s himmmmmm!!! “I see dead ADULTS…”
So what’s Mr. Joel Osment been up to since the big Pay It Forward / A.I. double-Oscar-snub? (Can’t you win TWO Oscars by the time you’re 15?) According to this Google prompt, people REALLY want to know if he got fat:


Oh, you can watch the 3D trailer for Sassy Pants. It’s alright. The biggest highlight has already been screencapped above (the Google thing):


Finally – Haley Joel Osment and Diedrich Bader back together for the first time since The Country Bears, when Osment played a character named Beary Bearrington. Everything in this sentence is true.

The stage is set for the big Shyamalan / Osment “Fast And Furious”-style reunion in 2015′s Sense Seven

Someone On Wikipedia Really Doesn’t Like LCD Soundsystem

I’m a big fan of LCD Sound system, but I still laughed at this conspicuously-altered opening paragraph from the band’s Wikipedia page:



The paragraph has already been corrected, but we’re preeeetty sure that this didn’t just coincidentally appear on the same day the band announced that their documentary Shut Up And Play The Hits would be premiering at Sundance.

I just feel bad for the one person who was actually searching for “Sound system (disambiguation)” and unknowingly got dragged into this pretension-debate. Sorry dude! Hope you found the historical speaker info you needed.
