An unreliable source? Most definitely not – it’s been marked more reliable than most university textbooks. (In-depth is another thing completely, but considering its competitor is the Encyclopedia Britannica, it’s doing extremely well for itself)

Heck, it’s legal to use Wikipedia as evidence in court.

Wikisurfing..interesting, given Wikipedia’s prestige as an unreliable source for information.

Gosh – you must be really bored to play that when alone. Whatever happened to educational games?

But will definitely take note of that one – perhaps it might stop me from falling asleep when reading some of my textbooks.

This reminds me of a game I like to play when bored: alone or with friends: Book Cricket.

Open a page of a (preferably thick) book at random, check the last digit of the page on the even side and add it to your team’s score. If the last digit is 0, you lose a wicket. You play till all your batsmen are out in this way and add up to get the total.

If you score more than your opponent, you win and vice versa.
