Perhaps you meant this?

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski's_undefinability_theorem
EDIT: Turns out HN is stripping out the apostrophe in the URL.
yes. i meant that.

the link opens for me. either wat u said is true or my opera has acquired intelligence or quantum mechanics is causing a havoc.

I may be missing the meta-joke (an undefined result page for an undefinability theorem) and possibly there's a URL mangler at work, but here's a link including the apostrophe (%27) between Tarski and s:

both the link i posted and and the link you posted open for me. the title was frack Godel where frack was spelled with multiplication operator. didnt know HN had blasphemy laws !
From that entry...

The indefinability theorem is conventionally attributed to Alfred Tarski. Gödel also discovered the indefinability theorem in 1930, while proving his incompleteness theorems published in 1931, and well before the 1936 publication of Tarski's work (Murawski 1998). While Gödel never published anything bearing on his independent discovery of indefinability, he did describe it in a 1931 letter to John von Neumann.
