Line 108:
** Whole [[Star Destroyer Dot Net|websites]] have been devoted to resolving the question of (or boasting the answer to) "Who would win in a fight between the U.S.S. Enterprise and an Imperial Star Destroyer?"
* The [[Console Wars]]
* Does .999...[repeating] = 1?<ref>[http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999 |Yes]], but [[Cassandra Truth|nobody will believe you.]]</ref>
** Yes. This is basically an application of Zeno's Paradox, from the ancient Greek, but it wasn't until a hundred years or so after Newton that Calculus evolved to the point that it could definitively answer the question. Please, let's accept it and move on.
*** Although the fact that there is no X such that .999... < X < 1 answers the question also.
Line 121:
** Heck, ''any'' random, small, and otherwise irrelevant, difference in political, philosophical or religious views could turn into this. We could give examples of this, [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|but we're not going to.]]
* Even this wiki isn't immune: [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] once had the line, "debating which time travel theory is right is much like trying to find the best flavor of ice cream". After over fifty different edits of what the best flavor of ice cream actually was, the joke was removed.
* [[The Other Wiki]] [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_warsLamest edit wars|has these in spades]]. For example: is that city in northern Poland called "Danzig" or "Gdańsk" in English? There's even been wars about ''punctuation''!
** Though to be fair to punctuation, incorrect punctuation can dramatically change the meaning of a statement. "Let's eat, Grandpa." means something different than "Let's eat Grandpa" just as "Let's help your Uncle Jack off a horse." is something different than "Let's help your Uncle jack off a horse."
* A three way debate: Left-C vs. Right-C vs. Down-C. Which one is the one true correct place for your [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Ocarina]]?
