Wikipedia--A Treasure Trove

Google has replaced Wikipedia, at least for me. Not a day goes by when I don’t look up wiki for some info or the other. Anything and everything I need to know is available on the greatest site on Earth—Wikipedia--the online encyclopedia. I cannot help but sing paeans for its resourcefulness.

Whenever I read a book and want to learn more about the author, I wiki the info than google it out. Now as a result, I have decided not to buy any more biographies but wiki all the info about great personalities.

Sample this: The other day I wanted to try Shepherd’s Pie at the Jukebox, so I key that in on Wikipedia half expecting any result but bingo! there it is spelling out all the ingredients that go into making this dish. (Don’t be shy to ask me the recipe ;-))

What’s more! I also know cos of wiki that I belong to a community called Pastafarians.

Soon wiki will be a verb when your boss asks you for some info, and you say “Sure thing I’ll wiki it out”. But let me remind you that I was the genius who first verbicized it :-)
