In summary, Wikipedia isn't exactly "100% accurate" and there are some weird things that happen with it. But it's still a fun and informative site.f

Wikipedia Isn't Exactly "100%"...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonin_Scalia
NOTE: I didn't do this, and don't worry, I'm sure Wikipedia will take care of it.

Yeah, it's not in the writing as far as I can tell, but the picture is a bit off...

In case it's changed, here's the one that was his "portrait" as of this posting:

And I just fixed it. Isn't peer review great?

It is, good for you, but still... wow. I only looked up the page because I forgot who appointed him! I thought I was on some mirror site at first...

I once came across a screw that was much less metallic, and much more anatomically correct than I expected. :bugeye:...o:)

That could be very awkward in a bad situation... :rofl:

I was learning about the very wide variety of screws out there!

How wide, you had no idea! Well... you had an idea, but nonetheless... SURPRISE!

Google is your friend.

Wiki is your *other* friend.

Wiki is really fun to hang out with, always has something interesting to talk about. A friend you can just sit and shoot the breeze with for hours.

But then out of nowhere, Wiki goes wacky! Wiki tells lies! Little ones, medium ones, and whoopers. Sometimes Wiki has an obvious motivation, sometimes there's no reason at all. Just...Wiki being Wiki.

It's still fun to hang out with Wiki :biggrin:.

Google is your knowledgeable, but somewhat creepy friend.

Google often makes strangely relevant suggestions, which makes you wonder if Google is keeping tabs on you. And you can't shake that feeling that Google might be going through your drawers while you're in the bathroom.

Google takes pictures of where you live and shows them to everyone. And when you make new friends and ask them if they need directions to your house, they always say “no, that's okay, I'll just ask Google”. And you wonder: what else is Google telling them about me?

You can't help hanging out with Google. Google is a great friend. But that strange vibe worries you a little. :uhh:

Take a look at this wiki entry that I caught one night when this craigslist killer movie came on and I wiki'ed it.

re bolded: That needs to be their new slogan! I mean, it's what they DO, but to have it as a tag-line?! Oh... so good.

On a less amusing note, after typing the preceeding sentences, Google broke into my home and 'tuned me up'. Google just kept typing: "Do you think this is a @#^& game?!". Google only gets like that sometimes though, usually Google is so tender and understanding. :cry:
