Rules
TLDR; answer the prompt as a comment on this post using words from a random Wikipedia article
- No resteem or upvote is necessary, although it is greatly appreciated. If I get paid out more than more than 4 liquid STEEM from these posts, I will increase the number of winners.
- Use the Random Article feature on Wikipedia to get your valid list of words (your "White Cards", for those of you familiar with the actual party game). This link will take you to a random article. You can use any word(s) on the screen - intro, nav bar, anything!
- Answer in the form of a comment on this post. The format of your comment should be two lines: your word(s), and the link to the article you used (see sample answer to this week's prompt below)
- If you want to keep rolling for new random articles, that's your decision, although it's not in the spirit of the game. If you get a very short "stub" article or something written in another language, feel free to roll again though!
- If you intentionally use a specific Wikipedia article, I can't stop you, but again, it's not in the spirit of the game.
This Week's Prompt
My Sample Answer
This is the qualifying format I'm looking for in your comment down below:

Prizes
There will be three shares of SBI awarded as prizes.
- One share to my own personal favorite
- One share to the crowd favorite (as measured by the number of upvotes, not the dollar amount)
- One share to a random qualifying entry
I've also set a small Steem Bounty on this post. All valid entries will qualify. I'd also recommend subscribing to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit.
This contest will run for a week, at which time I'll close it out, announce the winners, and kick off the next round.
Anyway, thanks for playing, and have fun! Here's the random Wikipedia article link again. See you in the comments below!

Sounds bad - but should be all better now ;)
Oof, sorry about your luck. But if there's one thing WebMD is good for, it's getting a scary name for that list of symptoms!
Ha ha! Yeah, I know that's right. :-)
This one really suits well. Haha.

the 380 kV Dutch high‑voltage grid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NorNed
NorNed
NorNed is a 580-kilometre (360 mi) long high-voltage direct current submarine power cable between Feda in Norway and the seaport of Eemshaven in the Netherlands, which interconnects both countries' electrical grids. It was once the longest submarine power cable in the world.
That is a disturbingly specific thing. That doesn't reek of hacker-terrorism at all.

Ha ha, as long as none of your requests reverse any of my changes, I'm sure I can fit you in, after all, I will have the time... Boom boom...

Come on! You had so many opportunities. Why not use the entertainment industry or Mexico or even Death !??
It's much more fun messing around with a person than inanimate things or a whole country (too many STD's in the last one)
Eulalio looks like a man who knows what his doing!
Anyone sporting a stache is atleast fun to look at and laugh!!
