I love wikipedia pages with embedded in-jokes. I found a mountain page where only failed ascents are listed, and only amusing failures are detailed. No mention of successful ascents, not even the first. And it's only funny if you know why. (No link because some humourless pedant might edit it.)

Magnitude 5.9 #earthquake in the #HinduKush region, #Afghanistan about 30 minutes ago (2023-01-05Z14:25).
Deep (200 km) as is typical for the region so I don't expect much damage although there may be localized shaking. Note the absence of surface waves as is typical for a deep earthquake.
