Five random things from Wikipedia and how they relate to me

Here's an idea I just invented. Go to Wikipedia, click on the "Random Article" button, and write about how that thing relates to you, skipping stub articles and anything that doesn't resonate at all. Do this five times.

  1. I've decided I'm not an Ascetic. I like pies too much.
  2. I've never been to Iverville in Quebec. In fact I've never been anywhere in the Americas. I was planning to go to North America an Canada about 5 years ago, but the friend I was going to go with got made redundant the day before we booked the trip.
  3. I've never used a total station, but I do know how to work a Theodolite and a level. In a previous life I used to work as a surveyor's assistant. Have you ever noticed the grave-like painted wooden crosses along the sides of roads that are being built? I used to make those, and I know how they work. It's all to do with ground levels. Oh yes.
  4. I bought Semisonic's, "Feeling Strangely Fine", but I only really liked "Secret Smile" and "Closing Time".
  5. Because I've never been to the US, I've not had the opportunity to sample the cuisine of California, except from it's exports. Big Mac anyone?
Emilygrae  I really was thinking that this was a good idea, so I went and clicked on Random Article as you said and got:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_prime_factors
*COUGH* *CHOKE* I think I'll pass this time. 
Joanna  A really nice idea Becky... I have posted my effort on my blog 
kate weston  1 - Beans and Chips - yum
2 - Les McKeown - how I hated the Bay City Rollers.
3 - 1830-1839 Atlantic Hurricane Seasons - pretty topical, this brought home the old adage the more things change the more they stay the same (which I still think makes no sense)
4 - Wolverine (disambiguation) - this is the first time I have come across 'disambiguation' - what a great word, something I could do with a lot more of in my life.
5 - Qing Anthem - the title of this song was 'Cup of Solid Gold' which is obviously referring to coffee.

(I would have liked to make these titles links - but I have not got a clue - which is why you are a web goddess and I a mere leaver of comments.) 
Miss K  good meme. I think I'll try this 
Becky  Ooops, sorry Jo looks like the link to your blog is broken. Jo's link is here. 
Miss K  good meme. I think I'll try this

And I have now, indeed, tried it. 
Karol Cross  Like it Becky. I've had a go too.

Cheated slightly as used a couple of stubs but they really seemed to fit. 
Joanna  Thanks Becks.... think I must have still had your address in my clipboard.. 
Selina  Always one to jump on a bandwagon I've had a go 
Jane  Me too. 
Clarissa  And the results from my bandwagon jumping can be found here 
Kat  And my pitiful attempt is here:

Lana  ok well I tried it, my efforts on Jos blog, not sure id I did it right though 
Sarah F.  Aww, how canya' not like track 8. This Will Be My Year. I promise it grows on you. 
TV

Charlotte  Hey who ever said I was original??

Me four. :)
