                              • Wikipedia Clickhole: Are You Dead? Just Put Smoke In Your Butt

                                🖱In this Wikipedia clickhole, hold onto your butts because we are starting with tobacco smoke enemas. From there, it's dark corners of resuscitations, Iranian politics, the American Mafia, and mysterious disappearances - only to end on the epic story of the west coast’s first female lawyer.  

                                👍 Please like or subscribe if you enjoyed this crazy clickhole! Leave a suggestion in the comments for next Clickhole Wednesday's starting point.  I mispronounced Khavaran as as "Kharavan" - sorry about that. I probably mispronounced a whole lot else too. I even mistyped Addis at the end! What a mess.
