FoxNews Filenames for Obama
Update: Actually, they seem to do this with a lot of images. Not just Obama. Still very weird, but not insidious. From Kevin Fox in the comments: “It refers to the image size. ‘Monster’ is 397x224 and ‘Doomsday’ is 604x341. Nothing to do with Fox’s fair and balanced agenda, except for the sensationalistic names for their photo formats.”

Michael Nielsen: The Wikipedia Paradox →
clint:
A Wikipedized version of the least interesting number paradox:
Question 1: What’s the most notable subject that’s not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia? Let’s assume for now that this question has an answer (“The Answer”), and call the corresponding subject X. Now, we have a second question whose answer is not at all obvious.

No. No they don’t. Not over this.
