Judging a Book by Its Contents - Indexing "statistically improbable phrases" from books sounds like a good idea. In one of William Gibson's books, he uses the phrase "hepatic corona"—as improbable a phrase as any.
Wikipedia is a real-life Hitchhiker's Guide: huge, nerdy, and imprecise - Yeah. Objective documentation is difficult even when one has the pretense of being objective. Wikipedia is useful for a quick overview, but the factuality is questionable as well as the objectiveness. Especially with political content: that's always up for interpretation.
ファゴット(バスーン)フェスティバル - "Fagott Fest"?! Apparently "fagott" means "bassoon", and is indeed in some dictionaries.
