   Wandering on the 'pedia I stumble on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(BLDG_7115)#Facilities Last time I checked, US Navy don't have the custom of stone frigates; Knowing the very erratic reliability of the Wikipedia, I can ask if some can explain this ?

   "Wired", unlike the 'pedia, is run for profit and has a group of managers dedicated to that idea. The 'pedia has a group of managers dedicated to the idea that experts are unneeded and that truth can be reached through populism. The Open Source movement has glommed onto the 'pedia as well and donates cash to them whenever the 'pedia runs short.

   While randomly searching Wikipedia and its sister projects, I noticed that, while Wikipedia itself has a moderate amount of information on Commodore computers, expansions, drives and such, its side-sites such as Wikibooks contain little that would be helpful to people new to the C= universe. The links on the 'pedia itself are numerous, however, most of them refer to sites that are game-related, which doesn't quite do the systems justice.

   Only the art dealers care if he occupies any space in popular imagination. Does the 'pedia have pictures of Basso's sister? No, that shit sells itself. Here is something that occupies much more space. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom_schema_of_replacement> Does size matter? You be the judge.

   Interesting... It makes me think of wasps, chewing up wood and making their paper honeycomb nests. I assume their saliva helps act as a binder to some degree (the 'pedia says they're waterproof). I'm sure it helps that the structure is never very thick so it can easily air out.

   According to the 'Pedia, CC UK is currently a joint venture between Paramount UK (so, effectively, one of the sides of Viacom) and BSkyB. So there's SOME common ownership between the mothership and the UK channel.

   WP confirms that our PM is still a Rt. Hon., but says nothing about membership in the UK Privy Council that I can find. My God, what a lot of material about him there is in the 'Pedia.
