when I was in grade school, I used to forfeit my recess period to read the World Book Encyclopedia. I would just pick a volume. A or X-Y-Z or M was always a good one. It was an alphabetically determined adventure in knowledge. The pictures were great and the information was no more than ten years out of date.
Now we have Wikipedia. What a marvelous thing! Knowledge expanded day-by -day. Information on the fly. Sometimes I spend hours there. Because of the links, you don't have to go alphebetically but you can go by subject and related subjects.
I love
Wikipedia

Love Wikipedia , just like in normal conversation , start on a subject ,
follow the links , end up on totally different subject than the one you started on and you ask yourself; How the hell did i get here. A-O.

this is group think taken to its absurdity.
take AAAA for example, link in my last post.
one person decides to put up a page on AAAAAA with links, and another person adds another and so it goes.
is this not the impossible resource source?
when i tried to go in and edit something, i was turned down. Could be cause my IP is part of the general switchboard of the kibbutz, but even with that blockade, there's a message that says if i have IRC installed (the chat program), i can appeal to the uncyclopedia main One.
but back to your question, ratbag, & i'd have to comment : Nuts. Simply nuts.

un-deniably so. Glad you took the time to look, Cecil.
And please be advised that the site is an utter waste of time.
unequivocably!
