Shiva: <generic statement of fact>
Sina: How do you know?
Shiva: I just know.
Sina: Is it on Wikipedia?
Shiva: I dunno — it doesn’t matter.
Sina: If it’s not on Wikipedia, it’s not true.
Shiva: Is that on Wikipedia?
Sina: That would be a self-reference and would thus be insignificant.
[pause]
Shiva: That’s what she said.
Sina: I know dude, I was there.
I wrote this in my drafts a few months ago with the above title to eventually be posted. Why not now, I suppose.

Jess: Did you write in Wikipedia that “…..”
Sina: *shocked* I would never vandalize Wikipedia. Ever. You know that.
Jess: Well it says “…..”. You’re the only person that knows that.
Sina: Maybe someone read your diary.
Jess: I don’t have a diary.
Sina: Maybe someone hacked your Facebook.

Conservapedia informs us that “Obama is likely the first Muslim President” of the United States. They argue this because “Obama’s background, education, and outlook are Muslim, and fewer than 1% of Muslims convert to Christianity.”
But that all doesn’t matter anyway. Why? Because Obama isn’t the President of the United States. This follows from the fact that fewer than 0.0000001% of Americans have ever been the country’s President.
