For all the idiots up in hur, I present to you, Simple Wikipedia.

http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Example:

From this
Beginning with his January 29, 2002 State of the Union address referenced above, President Bush began publicly focusing attention on Iraq, which he labelled as part of an "axis of evil" allied with terrorists and posing "a grave and growing danger" to U.S. interests through possession of "weapons of mass destruction".[132] In the latter half of 2002, Central Intelligence Agency reports requested by the Administration contained assertions that Saddam Hussein was intent on reconstituting nuclear weapons programs, had not properly accounted for Iraqi biological weapons and chemical weapons material in violation of UN sanctions, and that some Iraqi missiles had a range greater than allowed by the UN sanctions.[133] In particular, the CIA drew together an October 1, 2002 National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction, pulling together the intelligence, estimations, opinions and judgments of 16 different U.S. intelligence services, including dissenting views or challenges to various assertions. Several versions of this report were or have been produced with varying levels of declassification, inclusion of dissenting opinions, and completeness.[134] President Bush received a one-page summary of the National Intelligence Estimate.[135] The question of whether the Bush Administration manipulated or exaggerated the threat and evidence of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction capabilities or attempted to create a tie between Sadaam Hussein and the al Qaeda terrorists who carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks would eventually become a major point of criticism and controversy for the President.

To this
After the attacks of September 11th, Bush ordered an invasion of Afghanistan. Later he wanted something done about Iraq.

So who would be using this?
School children? American University students?

    Good times.

    The Wikipedia proves its worthlesness in its publishing clientel, namely by having extremely long articles on lightsaber combat styles compared to, say, anything of useful knowledge about anything.

    But it was like "oh so and so voiced this guy"

    And I'm like "No he didn't he only voiced him in this episode which was a JL episode, not a JLU episode, when he appeared on JLU he was voiced by this dude, jeesh."

    And like oh god there was this whole thing about "Picking the 8th member" that was just all about the episode Hereafter, which is like, the stupidest thing to focus on for fuck's sake so much other crap happened in that season alone why on earth would you talk about that and nothing else and I can't stand it, I just can't so I closed the damn window.

    If I'm gonna invest that much time writing stuff up proper about DCAU stuff, it's gonna be for my own damn site, which at this time is only theoretical.

    Of course, on could vandalize this newer, dumber wikipedia by peppering the articals with fancy words. Words like maianismo and rive gauche and gemutlichkeit.

    I guess you could throw gongorism into that pile, but dumb people will probably just think you're talking an archiaic term for elephantitus or something.

    i am currently complimenting my classics course on ancient language with wikipedia to fill in lecture note gaps and it is matching text material pretty bang on.

    seriously bitching about wikipedia is pretty dumb it is not perfect but i would rather have 10x the information with maybe 5% less accuracy than the bare bones shit you get anywhere else.

    the last few minutes of my slide will be going through a bunch of the little tidbits they give at the end

    such as:
    -With a production of about 306 million tires a year, the LEGO Group is the world’s largest tire manufacturer.

    No, like really bad stuff. Seriously off the wall shit about the properties of explosives that could get people killed, and more importantly, probably someone would get sued.
