Rant #86 :Wikipedia And Then Some

Wikipedia Should Be A Religion.

I've learnt more from an evening with Wik than i have from 12 yrs of schooling.

They will re-name the history portal after me,already.Any Day Now.You'll See.

=_=

I mean where else will you know that rasputin was stabbed,shot,poisoned and drowned (in no particular order)

If It wasnt for wiki, i would still think that Ménage à trois is a French Dessert.

If it wasnt for wiki,i wouldnt know that Leighton Meester of the "Gossip Girl" was born in a prison.

I mean,How Wild is that!... makes me R-E-S-P-E-C-T Blair more!
All those Serena Supporters there,Go SUck an Egg!


Anyways,The other day after like 6 hours of Facebooking,4 hours of Youtubing and an hour of cartoonnetworkHQ.com-ing.I did sumthing really Naughty!

I wiki-ed Wikipedia! Wild Right?
(X,you devil you...)

anyway after XTREME scrolling,ive learnt,

• "wiki" is Hawaiian for "quick"
• Its a cheap rip-off another encyclopedia project,Nupedia

Are'nt all of the world's greatest "Stuff"(by "stuff" i mean all names,places animals things yada yada yada) mere facismiles of other people lesser original creations?

Examples
Facebook (A very Pimple faced zuckerberg "anu-malik'd" the idea from ConnectU,a company owned by fellow haravd-ites) (Moral of the story:Be Nice To Nerds,You Might Work For Them One Day)

Anu Malik, who plagerizes as much as he facebooks.

Flo Rida Feat.Unknown Female no one cares about-Right Round is a blasphemous copy of the psychadelic "you spin me right round (like a record)" by new wave band Dead Or Alive.

Ice Ice Baby-Vanilla Ice.Its Vanilla Ice. Need I Say More?

Anyways, The Iconic bassline of ice ice baby is just a lil TOO similar to Queen's-Under Pressure.
Who RIPPED it off David Bowie BTW!
