A number of curious or strange requests occasionally appear on the Wikipedia village pump and other community forums; apparently some visitors have Wikipedia confused with other, unrelated sites. Many times, such questions are posted by people seeking information about a particular subject, and are quite appropriate for the reference desk, so if you encounter such a question on the pump or elsewhere, please try to be helpful and direct the questioner to the reference desk instead.
However, some requests are just so off-the-wall that they would be inappropriate even on the reference desk. In keeping with the spirit of archiving other silly things, this page lists some of those strange requests for the purpose of a little harmless amusement. See also Wikipedia:Talk page highlights.
