Wikipedia Articles for Everything!

I couldn’t remember if fourteen is spelled four or for – so I google searched it. The first search result was the Wikipedia article for the number fourteen. Ha! I love it.

I love Wikipedia. And here’s my take on the “accuracy and relevance” of the all the articles: One guy can author a book which supposedly makes him an expert and his words referenceable. He paid some publisher to be legit. Okay. But Wikipedia’s articles have been authored by hundreds of people sometimes. It’s like reading a book written by a hundred experts. And they have to list their sources – not all books do that.

What a wonderful gem to find with all the crap out there on the web. A friggin reference article about the number 14! I just think it’s so funny. Check out the article: Number Fourteen

So, with that… all you haters out there that talk crap about Wikipedia can suck it!
