With four exams over, I only have one more to study for. The past week was rather uneventful. Exams aren't what they used to be. The only thing worth mention was probably that I forgot to study this one particular thing, and ended up spending fifteen minutes imagining cool shapes spinning around in space before I could answer the question.

Anyway, it has recently come to my attention that there is another version of Wikipedia, called the Simple English Wikipedia. It is directed to people who are learning English, or are not very good at the language. This is a good thing, there are many individuals who are attempting to learn the English Language, and receive an education at the same time.

However, there are a few things about the Simple English Wikipedia that I find... humorous. I feel bad when I laugh at it. I just can't help it.

Firstly, the URL is "simple.wikipedia.org". Now, what word comes to your mind when you hear "simple"? You think of "simpleton", and then an accompanying mental image of some Southern person with poor hygiene appears. You know, the kind that go fishing for catfish with their bare hands as a sport.

Big catfish, in muddy rivers... Let's just say that it's not exactly the safest activity ever.


Second of all, the articles are... Interesting. Here, have a look at an excerpt from the "magnetism" article:

"...then the north pole of the magnet will turn and point to the Earth's magnetic north pole (which is an big area of rock in Canada that contains a very big amount of iron in it)."

also, from the Big Bang Theory:

"...Because most things become colder when they become bigger, the universe must have been very hot when it started."

Hee hee hee.


I know, I'm a terrible person.
