Wikipedia and one letter off.

I have kind of a quick blog update for today.

I should like to start out by saying that I commend wikipedia for what it is and what it did today for the blackout.

That being said, the blackout brought out a VERY SCARY side of the human race. I had no idea how much people relied on an internet built encyclopedia for real information. If you are looking for a quick answer I can understand, I do it all the time, but the amount of people who were worried about not finishing papers because they couldn't access wikipedia was downright fucking scary. First of all, any credible school won't accept wikipedia as a source. That's a big point there. You shouldn't be using it for research papers. Period. There are these magical places where you do research btw, they're called libraries, they've been around FOREVER! If you're too lazy to do that, or it's late, fucking google it! There are millions of credible sources for research papers out there.

If you're asking why it isn't credible I'll answer that now. It is written by you and your peers. That's right you can edit wikipedia! They have a group that does well to monitor stupid editing but it isn't 100%. I once edited the WWII page to say that  fear of Hello Kitty is why America joined the war. It was up there for TWO WEEKS. Imagine a kid writing that in his paper! Now most would know that is wrong but how can you be sure what your reading is right on say, the page for a chemical. If you must use the site for papers, though I can't see why, please just use the sources posted on the bottom, you know, the ones where the people writing the page for real got their info, like a normal researcher, you get it yet?

Ok enough ranting. A while back I posted daily status with movie titles that were one letter off. They were quite popular so I plan on adding them here as I remember them. A lot of them I pulled from a website I can't recall, but only the titles I made up my own descriptions.

For starters here are a few:

Lord of the Wings - The underdog comedy of a thin man taking on the wing eating championships!

Rion King - What happens when Simba gets abandoned in China?

Star Pars - The story of average golfers who become legends.

More to come!
