[edit] Testicular Meningitis

This newly created article is a hoax slavishly styled after Meningitis. Please have it eradicated or possibly consigned to BJAODN. The membranes which are inflamed during meningitis are found in the spinal cord and the brain; maybe this disease afflicts those who think too much with their genitals. The article crowns its own absurdity in the final paragraph when it recalls the famous victims who suffered the disease and the bizarre prosthetic methods of "treatment" some of them refused out of national honor. If humanity is threatened with a malady of such cataclysmic proportions, Google should be flooded with hits from the medical literature, but at the moment, "testicular meningitis" seems only to be an imaginary curse some people wish upon or fear from their enemies [1]. --Defrosted 23:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This article could be improved through revealing the claimed "hoaxes." This article does not deserve to be deleted but further explored Thinker2006 23:52, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as hoax. It's actually pretty funny in places, but the humor's a little esoteric for anyone with no knowledge of medical terms: "Though medical science has so far failed to identify any meninges existing within the scrotal sack, their existence can be inffered by the symptoms of the disease."

• Delete as Wikipedia:Complete bollocks. A Google search for this ailment got a total of 9 Google hits [2]., none of which verifies this. Capitalistroadster 00:44, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per Capitalistroadster Mego'brien
• Delete as nonsense. Yes, meninges around my WP:BALLS... come on. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:25, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

It's completely bogus, and knowingly so, and so it is vandalism; I speedied it, and I speedied its recreation. - Nunh-huh 03:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
