Wikipedia

This is a public service announcement. Don't use Wikipedia ... ever. It is, hands down, the best general informational resource on the web. And even cooler, it's open source in the sense that it's written by us, the users.

In a tribute to Rumsfeld. There are things there you know you want to know. Things you know you don't want to know, and things you don't know you want to know. And that's exactly the problem. I go for one quick citation and end up spending hours cliking on links to other things. It just feeds my unhealthy addiction to knowledge.

I'm telling you, if you value your time - please, don't use this dangerous service. Don't even visit the intro page that I linked to. On it they offer up ideas of things to learn about.
