Wikipedia, probably the largest public database of information the world has ever known...
Because it's a "wiki" site it is maintained by several thousand moderators and the even more members.. This means that it gives us the ability to add/ subtract and make our own pages about almost whatever we please.
Although this has made many people uneasy with the often excuse "wikipedia is unreliable, did you know any can go into and change the information?"
What they don't know is that usually under 2 minutes after you change something, a mod goes in sees what you changed and if it's wrong, restores the page..
Another thing that worries people is "Personal Opinions" that if people write stuff down about things, it's what they think and not actual facts.. once again. mods go in and check this, and usually remove it, change it so it is factual.. or put a heading around it warning you that it's personal opinion..
Due to me never finding anything wrong with it and messing with it b4.. going in and changing stuff.. from stupid stories to things that actually might sound real... it was changed almost immediately.. and after a couple times of doing it.. lol we got andrew's computer blocked from editing stuff..
It is ever updating and almost any subject anybody can think of and is a reliable source of information i think.. just make sure to read it all b4 using it.. and maybe a couple minutes after you decide to use it. refresh the page and see if there are any changes. lol
ok i'm done...
Your thoughts? is it reliable? is it awesome? how much do you use it? and why do you think so many adults are so against it?

he then slowly pulls a lever
which sets off a mechanism
which does nothing whatsoever
but the nothing that it does
negates the everything we know
because it's screaming "Just because!"
because it's neither friend or foe
and so we label it a menace
or a grandiose work of art.
From its finale to its genesis
we slowly pull it all apart.
That's the beauty of it--
It doesn't do anything.
