    From the Karma Whore link:

    Karma whores are individuals, or messages themselves, that attempt to receive feedback in the form of karma points. Often these will be needless information (such as a link to a Wikipedia article relevant to the subject being discussed),

    I thought that I had seen everything until I read Wikipedia mentioning that it's relevant articles are needless information.

    Ships not making scheduled calls at Somali ports are advised to keep at least 200 nm from the Somali coast.

    200 nanometers? Isn't that a tad close?
