Weakipedia

Wikipedia is great for checking basic facts on relatively non-controversial items. And for pop-culture stuff. But while I will accept information at that level at face value, everything else needs to be checked. Needless to say, I'd never trust it on global warming.

Notwithstanding my limited and guarded use of Wikipedia and appreciation for it, this assesment (tip to Tim Blair) of Wikipedia is pretty funny:

For the first time in history, history is being written by the losers.

Can I get a patented "heh" from the choir?
