A fact from GrahamHardy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 July 2010. The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Shepherdsville train wreck, which caused about fifty deaths when two trains collided in December 1917, is the deadliest train wreck in the history of Kentucky?
The train swung around the curve, the engine puffing with short, heavy blasts, and they passed smoothly from sight that way, with that quality about them of shabby and timeless patience, of static serenity: that blending of childlike and ready incompetence and paradoxical reliability that tends and protects them it loves out of all reason and robs them steadily and evades responsibility and obligations by means too barefaced to be called subterfuge even and is taken in theft or evasion with only that frank and spontaneous admiration for the victor which a gentleman feels for anyone who beats him in a fair contest, and withal a fond and unflagging tolerance for white folks' vagaries like that of a grandparent for unpredictable and troublesome children, which I had forgotten.

In a strange room you must empty yourself for sleep.
And before you are emptied for sleep, what are you.
And when you are emptied for sleep, you are not.
And when you were filled with sleep, you never were.
I don't know what I am.
I don't know if I am or not.
Jewel knows he is, because he does not know that he does not know whether he is or not.
He cannot empty himself for sleep because he is not what he is and he is what he is not.
