Welcome to Cool Freaks' Wikipedia Club (CFWC)an absurdity hub.

Cool Freaks' Wikipedia Club is the leading Facebook group for delivering the weirdest Wikipedia articles, from Tarrare to 52-hertz whale, to the top of every member's Facebook News Feeds. No longer will Belphegor's Prime and Potoooooooo languish in the doldrums of obscurityinstead, they can reach a new audience hell-bent on trivial pursuits and complete world knowledge.

Since its founding a year ago on 24 September 2013, the group has grown from a humble abode of esoterica to a sizable community of nearly 32,000 members. As the group has grown, so has its moderation, ensuring that the future of Cool Freaks sticks to its founding ideal of a "safe-space" for its thousands membersmany of whom are queer, transgender or people of color.
