Intentionally Blank Page – Wikipedia Unusual Article #3

Who would have thought there would be 15 paragraphs written about an “intentionally blank page,” yet here we are:

An intentionally blank page is a page that is devoid of content, and may be unexpected. Such pages may serve purposes ranging from place-holding to space-filling and content separation. Sometimes, these pages carry a notice such as, “This page is intentionally left blank.” The phrase is a self-refuting meta-reference, in that it falsifies itself by its very existence on the page in question.

Who would have though existentialism would manifest itself so curiously.

This is part of an ongoing quest to highlight the unusual, quirky but fact-based articles in Wikipedia.
