"Advances in Therapy". Well, that's certainly one thing I didn't think I needed.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

I got a guy whose name apparently has an exclamation point in it?
Cool.

(Note: apparently that's just a Khoekhoe symbol that won't render properly on chrome. I liked the exclamation point in his name better.)

That's not an exclamation point, and it's rendering correctly. It's a lowercase turned i, which looks functionally like a somewhat straighter exclamation point.

Today's page is a chunk of the list of minor planets. Hmm, interesting.

No, I win
Nice try. I'm pretty sure Random Article never gives you redirects.

It might. I've never used it before, but I did get this when I clicked on the Random Article thing.

I think it just gives you a random page, redirect or no. However, a quick test of getting a number of random pages in succession didn't give me a single redirected page, so... *shrug*

I just tried thirty or so, and none were redirects.

Unless he deleted the ending or something, WhitiusOpus faked that link.
