Best Wiki Replace (XKCD Inspired)

What regex/words and wiki/site would you choose?

    var a=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML;a=a.replace(/militia/g,'fanclub').replace(/Militia/gi,'Fanclub');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML=a;void(0);

    var a=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML;a=a.replace(/bro/gi,'friend').replace(/mance/gi,'ship');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML=a;void(0);
...and for the 12 year old in us all:

    var a=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML;a=a.replace(/ ?([Ss])apiens/gi,'$1exual');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML=a;void(0);
NB:code done as a one liner so it's easy to copy/paste to your address bar; just prefix with javascript: and hit enter for this to run on the site of your choice.

My best so far (simple but works well):

Site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language

Script:

    javascript:var a=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML;a=a.replace(/Program(\w\w+)*/gmi,'curse').replace(/language/gmi,'word');document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].innerHTML=a;void(0);
