My guess is somebody edited them on Wikipedia to be funny:

They failed.

What's the story with the Richie Sadlier posts?

Someone edited his Wikipedia and feels the need to share with the world how hilarious they are?

Wilberto

It would have been much funnier if they screenshot the "He famously scored in the third-place playoff against Spain" part.

Wilberto

It says a lot that the funniest thing on the page is something that wasn't edited.

MOD NOTE: Folks, just to clarify - some of the pictures embedded in Boards won't show on Firefox, for some reason, but if you were to open the URL on its own in a different tab then the picture would appear. We don't know why that is, but it's nothing to do with the posters, they aren't doing anything wrong. If you change browser you'll see these images (can't guarantee that something else won't go wrong, though. ).

The phrasing:
"children and young people affected by #HIV at the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup. "
As in the children got HIV at the event.

I couldn't understand why it was funny either. The thought crossed my mind that the guy looked like Enda, but Didn't think it was actually him:o

Wouldn't they be closer to the edge, though? Also, I've always wanted to know - what's on the other side?

Also fake. It's "turtles ALL THE WAY DOWN", not "turtle". Or was it "tortoise"? Or even "terrapin"? Anyway, my point still stands.

I know it isn't real but drinking coffee and reading "artisan dwarf cabbage" at the same time has been proven a rotten combination on several occasions.

Some cities were planned and some just grew randomly over time, the more planned a city was the more likely the streets line up.

But Dublin looks nothing like that! Or does it?

It's not meant to look like the city, but rather represent the compass orientation of streets and the number of streets with each orientation (line length).

This blog post by Geoff Boeing, the author of the research paper the graphs come from, explains it like this:

Each of the cities above is represented by a polar histogram (aka rose diagram) depicting how its streets orient. Each bar’s direction represents the compass bearings of the streets (in that histogram bin) and its length represents the relative frequency of streets with those bearings.
