I mean, really, can you think of a better set of objects for a size comparison? 

Yeah, still wouldn't help me too much, if I didn't already know the size.  I know how big the Ferrero Rocher is, but the bag of blueberries?  I've never seen them in a bag like that.

If this is the page in question than bad news for you, they removed the Ferrero Rocher.
 

It forgot to also detail it's height in comparison to the side of a CD and the dimensions of a standard desktop computer.

Anyway, that photo is inaccurate because the blueberries bag has had the top ripped off and therefore could have had its contents eaten. This would reduce not only it's height, but circumference in comparison to the external hard drive.

I saw the original one I posted at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk

That's amazing that there are two pages with two different pictures of (presumably) the same "average bag of blueberries" and the same MyBook.

Considering they were uploaded within 2 minutes of each other by same author seems to indicate a WTF rather than anything amazing.

That's what I mean.  It's amazingly stupid, not an amazing coincidence.

Apparently its just a defacement. I looked at both articles just now and neither has a picture of the WD next to *anything*. The hard drive article has a missing link where the picture used to be. The wiki cops are apparently springing to action already.

Was it the OP?? We'll never know

Well I guess actually it was defaced on the 7th...

9 days to fix a defaced page! that's a long time in wiki world.

 Actually, it was defaced on the XXXI. of december.

 
Maybe someone got it for christmas with some blueberries and a Ferrero chocolate.

Nah. 

Wikipedia also has pages on various real numbers.

The freshness seal is most assuredly open as well, so you'd better not eat it, unless you're sure nobody else has compared its size to dangerous objects or bacteria.

Bad example - the article says it's a natural number.

It doesn't get completely absurd until people actually start using those pages as valuable resources that should be linked to whenever the number in question is mentioned.

Which probably happens, but I'm sure as hell not going to risk my sanity by actively looking for that sort of stupidity. The constant linking to dates is bad enough.

Yup, when someone cites Wikipedia (better known as Jimbo's Big Bag of Trivia), I see an old teacher's thick red pen circling their citation with the comment TRWTF+ next to the encircle cite.

Wow...it's like Sesame Street for grownups.   The passage from Ezekiel is particularly entertaining when read in Elmo's voice.

Unfortunately, yes they are.

And they don't even follow a pattern. "Thursday September 19th 1976" might be linked to any combination of Thursday, September, 19, September 19th and 1976 where 1976 might be the year or the number.

I wonder whether anyone ever thought "Huh.. let's go find out what this Thursday thing is".
