wikipedia is the new google. it takes you straight to something relevant, complete, and without commecial influence. the information is always helpful. if not, all the more inspiration to expand a stub article. looking something up on wikipedia needs a verb like google (ex. i googled "fucking machine" and it brought me to my period). i propose, "to wiki," with the preferable usage being, "wiki me this..." Wikipedia seems to think that "To search for information on a topic in the Wikipedia online encyclopedia" should be called wikipediaed, as in, "I wikipediaed the article on science and learned about the scientific method." now isn't that a little cumbersome? isn't wiki much more consice, while still being infinitely clear? now i do realize that "wiki" is already a word (A wiki (IPA: [ˈwiː.kiː] or [ˈwɪ.kiː] (according to Ward Cunningham) is a type of website that allows users to easily add and edit content and is especially suited for collaborative writing), thus "wikipedia." but i think it can still work. mug is both a noun and a verb (altho they refer to different things, sure). long live wikipedia. i discovered how to clean (and even make) a bong, they have an extensive and always immediately updated stephen colbert episode guide, and even an entire star trek wikipedia site. they have everything. i am inuit. i have a pulldown wikipedia search engine on my browser. using google is doing it "the old fashioned way." wiki is much better. it is the future. donate $$ to them if you have it. free learnin' for all. yar.

Everyone should definitely be Innu wikipedia. I think since I heard about it many months ago I've looked up at least five things a day, almost without fail.
Wikipedia is the sort of thing that could make future generations much smarter than we are now. It could, if 90% of the population weren't willfully ignorant cunts that rate 'learning' along side 'cleaning out the septic tank' or 'sponge-bathing grandma'.
tks for the link to the star trek site. nice touch
oh, you're welcome. how could i hold back this vital info?
