This is great. Did you hear about how the Wikipedia entry for "nihilartikel" ended up itself being a nihilarikel?

Neat, I hadn't even heard of "nihilartikels" before. Reading the entry's talk page, it seems like the term itself was the invented part (maybe). I found out a few months ago that the earliest version of Wikipedia's Uqbar article was an unmarked quote from the story, and I liked that. Also reminds me of http://blog.oup.com/2008/03/ammon_shea/ - "Absurd Entries in the OED".
