I think one of the best things on the internet is Wikipedia. No, it isn't some witchy thing...it is a modern day encyclopedia of sorts. Wiki had been around since 2001 and now has over 7.8 million articles in 253 languages. You can find out anything about anything on Wiki. Personally, I mostly use it for pop culture information. But it exceeds far beyond. Use Wikipedia for questions concerning the arts, history, society, health, current events, or mindless trivia. Want to know when Cheetos were invented? Wiki it! Say you are watching a rerun of Home Improvement and can't remember how the series ended- wiki it! Or maybe you are watching the Sureal Life and can't recall what show Emmanuel Lewis was in... wiki it! We've even used it to check on the dating/marrital/gender preference status of various tv and music stars! Whether you want to check on an oldie like Father Knows Best or search for the latest theories on the Lost Wikipedia has the answers. I've also used Wikipedia to try to learn about Charlotte including which area is considered Dilworth, University City, Elizabeth, etc. etc. Spend some time surfing around the Wikipedia site...use it to answer those questions that keep you up at night...like "who was Erica Kane's 3rd husband...and how many times did she marry Dimitri?
Trust me, this is a site you need to keep as a favorite. You'll be surprised how many times Wikipedia can be used to determine bets, solve arguements, and end the nagging "do you remember..." questions that pop up so often. Quite honestly, Wikipedia should be the new lifeline on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." By the way...how many million dollar winners has that show had??? Wiki it!!!
