Colbert has poked fun at [[Wikipedia]] and its apparent democratization of truth; he has coined the word "Wikiality" (as opposed to "reality,") and caused trouble for Wikipedia by suggesting that his listeners alter articles. In August of 2006, he encouraged users to state that the population of African [[elephants]] had tripled in the last decade.

Colbert is known to have severe Ursaphobia, due to "childhood encounters". Colbert is convinced that his mortal enemy, Colbear, is hiding in [[Canada]] waiting to attack him.<ref>http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5040948</ref>
