Wikipedia....I'm hooked

Be careful of things such as this http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2005/12/18/the_wiki_effect/?p1=MEWell_Pos5

 

Wikipedia is my homepage.

 

I know what you mean.

I start out trying to find some info on a band and all the sudden this Caravaggio is such a brilliant example of avant-garde and clearly the pinnacle of the Baroque age.

 

You can actually learn quite a bit from the site, but it is tough to know if all the info is correct always.

 

I once wrote a whole term paper based on "citings" from Wikipedia. I got an A.

 

i got hooked on it a few months back. there are a few parodys of it, but don't know them out of the top of my head, but are pretty hilarious.

 

Kam is hooked.

 

lol it's funny how teachers don't like wikipedia.

who gives a damn, i'm taking the time to type up your research paper, who cares if the information is right or wrong.

-Albert Einstein

 

Wikipedia is great, love that site

 

I love wikipedia. Anytime I want to look up anything (pop culture references, tv/movie info, history, literature etc.), I'll google up "Subject Wikipedia". I'll do that as much as a dozen times a day. It's sooooo much better than a regular web search, since it goes straight to the specific information. Maybe not everything is 100% accurate, but it's very good at giving you the basics, and in most cases a bit more in-depth than that, on pretty much any subject you can think of.

 

Pshh, no i'm not.


okay, i like that place a little bit.

 

I typed Kam into Wikipedia. This is what I got.

Kam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KAM (Sanskrit kama) meaning deep desire, uncontrolled longing, concupiscence, sensuality or lasciviousness is counted among the five cardinal sins or sinful propensities.

-now check yourself, son.

 

If you have firefox I love that you can just go type "wp <subject>" in the address bar and it goes directly to the wiki article. Same with "slang <word>" and gets you the urbandictionary definition, good stuff.

 

I love the site too. I have either wrote or contributed to many articles on the site as well. Here is one parody of he site: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

 

imdb <title> works as well. Anybody know any others?

 

I didn't know you could do that with Firefox. Wow.

 

Check out some of these parody articles on uncyclopedia:

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Houston

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Texas

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Arkansas

And I love the description of my hometown:

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Jonesboro,_Arkansas

 

if i'm trying to find the definition of something I type in google, " subject define."
