Wikipedia is ridiculous.

I love Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure three-fourths of what I have learned in my entire life has come from there. I always like to click the "random page" button, and go from there. It will start me on something like "Chewbacca" and I'll end up on that one wikipedia page where it shows you how you can make an entire sentence out of the word "buffalo". That's the thing with wikipedia. It's not all serious subjects. For example, the page explaining the "High Five". It has hilarious picture examples on how to do the "too slow" high five. Or the article on circle strafing in video games. That one even has a GIF of how to circle strafe. Me and a friend tried to do six degrees of Kevin Bacon on there, but with Hitler instead. It's much easier then you'd think. Just find any country involved in any world war and go from there. Apparently finding Kevin Bacon is much harder. I haven't tried. I don't have the mental fortitude from something like that. I like the fact that I can pull up any sports teams history on there and read about them. It turns out that the Green Bay Packers are not owned by one person, but rather owned by a conglomerate of people. It's the only team in the NFL that isn't owned by just one person. Also, the Seattle Sonics are gone. They got replaced by the Oklahoma City Thunder. It doesn't really matter, because they both suck, but still. I'm just afraid to see what happens when wikipedia becomes sentient. I don't want any skynet business.
