[edit] Extreme underwater basket weaving
Disputed prod for an article that I suggest is a hoax; the article itself suggests (near the end) that no Google hits will be found. This doesn't meet verifiability standards and I seriously doubt it can. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete I tried to find sources on Google but could only find references to it on forums and jokes -- just as the article itself claims. Completely unverifiable, possibly a hoax or just plain original research. Kamek (talk) 23:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

- Extreme Underwater Delete This is well-constructed nonsense, and hats off to Omni for putting this together. It's a clever satire of both extreme sports and the use of the phrase "underwater basket weaving" to describe a ridiculously easy college course. I liked the part where sharks and electric fences were added to make it even more extreme. It can't stay up, of course, and I'm sure it'll be taken down before the day is one, but it's very well done. Mandsford (talk) 01:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
