Fractal wrongness Fractal Wrongness FRACTAL WRONGNESS!

fractal wrongness

Not found on Wikipedia (ok the term, certainly one can find examples of Fractal wrongness)

There was an entry, but it was deleted in 2008 The reason used was "uncited neoglism",a term that also does not have an entry on Wikipedia!

It is found on Rational Wiki

Explaining it The book source itself!

Urban Dictionary

The Klee mentioned in the explaining it link

Steven Klee, another thing (person) not found on Wikipedia

(while Wikipedia has literally thousand and thousands of entries for things that literally do not exist, it is lacking in entries for things that actually do exist, which is one reason I started this blog)

Like so many things, searching for "fractal wrongness" will not allow you to find this blog entry

Found and not found on Wikipedia, the Ferris Bueller movie and the space shuttle

In the trailer for the movie, and in the film, Ferris mentions "he'll be the first youth from Chicago to travel in the space shuttle", or "I'm the first Chicago area youth to be selected to participate in a space shuttle mission.", something removed due to the Challenger disaster occurring right before the trailer came out. I find this an interesting factoid.

The shuttle issue is actually on Wikipedia, but it was deleted from the article. So it is not on Wikipeda!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ferris_Bueller%27s_Day_Off#Space_shuttle

This was 2010, and nobody has tried to add it back to the article.
