Did you know...?
...that [[
Nick Capra]], major league baseball player, was the winner of the "International Escort Awards" awards for "
best porn star escort"? I'm pretty sure that Capra was also unaware of this. I hope it's not too late for him to collect his statuette.
Why not a joke about goats? Looks like somebody assumed the porn star was the most famous (and/or
only) person listed under that name.
For example I wouldn't in a million years think to add any parentheses to "[[Steve Miller]]" but that's a much more extreme case which WP owes to systemic bias against classic rock. However the court of public opinion on WP tends to favor porn-stars. I know more than once I've inadvertently linked to a porn-star by putting brackets around the name of a "regular person". This is the only time I've seen the opposite thing happen.
I also noticed the WP article is in fact slightly buried in the search result:
It's like google already decided for you that nobody cares about the baseball player.
