Wikipedia Win
So I'm procrastinating and reading the offense UFR when I decide that I'm curious to check if wikipedia has any articles on speed--not the classic 90s action movie, the amphetamine, or your run-of-the-mill rate of d/t, but perhaps something on the physiology behind the varying ability of an organism to move fast, especially when that ability varies within a species, specifically humans. Basically, a "science of sports" type of article. Misguided and stupid? Perhaps, but just let it be.
Anyway, I was scrolling down the wikipedia article on speed as in d/t to the "See Also" section when I noticed that someone (not myself, sadly) made a nice addition to the list...

Awesome.

That just made my afternoon.
September 16th, 2010 at 2:57 PM ^
Just awesome

The change was just done, so I suspect the TC. : )

pure win
September 16th, 2010 at 3:01 PM ^
+1 to you sir, for your epic addition.

If I look up "elevation" in Wikipedia, am I going to find "Tacopants" in the See Also section?

Wikipedia has automated checks to guard against that sort of stuff. One or two small edits like that get overlooked, but it is astronomically unlikely that it would get out of control like you are implying.
Just sayin'.

Somebody needs to add the Notre Dame heisman photo of Denard as his primary picture.

+1 for your Chris Farley avatar.

Amazing, wiki-wins never get old.

I imagine those Wikipedia folks are cussing under their breath, 'There go those Wolverines again...'
September 16th, 2010 at 3:55 PM ^
Haha that is pure win.

Slightly off-topic. I'm surprised that under "Examples of different speeds" nobody has yet entered the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow.
September 16th, 2010 at 4:44 PM ^
or European?

you really did go "all the way . . . man" with finding that. My ADD/OCD hybrid disease prevents me from finding gold like that. Strong work.

It was pure luck. Funny, my ADHD prevents me from concentrating on things that actually matter. You could say that I was at the wrong place at the right time.
