    Wikipedia, Google have taken away some small pleasures of life

    trivia - like when you're talking to somebody about a movie, a celeb, sports, history, concert, anything - and you or your friend would ask "remember that 'fill_in_the_blank'" and the answer would be on both of the tips of your tongues? And for the next week it would be in the back of your heads and suddenly 'eureka!'

    there's no place for that anymore, everybody goes for the quick fix and hits Wikipedia or Google. trivia is dead.
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                  On a scale of 1 to 100, how accurate do you think Wikipedia really is?

                          quite accurate actually, i'd say 90 too, but not always complete as peeps need to give a source referal to every bit of info they add to a subject.

                                          Yeah, the bastards - I've lost too many $ / beer cos of that scenario. Me and my "I think I know it all" attitude.
