Ten clicks of the "random page" button on Wikipedia:

AW-Reeds GbR

Ford HSC engine

The Dark Smurfs

Cintra

.va

E. St. Elmo Lewis

Jack Coughlin

D. B. Patil

Shimon Y. Nof

Ahiwara

As is probably obvious, "The Dark Smurfs" is the most compelling of these. But I was mildly interested to learn that ".va" is the domain type for Vatican City-based emails and websites.

Hopefully none of what I've learned here--that "Cintra" is a company that manages highways (again, almost interesting), or that E. St. Elmo Lewis was an early champion of the public learning potential of advertising-- bounces out anything more important.

Someone once told me that 1/3 of Wikipedia's entries are about anime. That can't possibly be true, can it?

Of course it can, and i'm sure a lot of it is about inuyasha and dragonball z

and not enough about starship yamamoto

I don't know about that, but I did go on there once looking to resolve an argument about "Star Wars." I spent the next hour, I think, going from one article to the next, on things I'd never heard of (novelizations, offshoots, specials, comics...) and was nowhere near through all of it before my wife bodily dragged me away from the laptop. Truly, we live in an age of wonders.

Didn't know about the random button.

I just found out they have a page for every Guantanamo Bay detainee.

Not really anythiung that interesting to me, skimmed the Carlo Fontana article.

Wow, see that. I didn't know that Greg Mackie first founded Tapco before starting his eponymous company.


















Yeah, I'm probably using that word incorrectly.
