Well, because wikipedia is offensive to some people, and you know how we feel about that.

I'd be curious to hear the rationale behind the offensiveness of wkipdia, JB. I just finished a course in computational biology that would've been much harder without it (and MathWorld). Surely it is offensive only so much as the internet itself is offensive (and I see that has yet to be bleeped out).

Just wait. Today it's WIKIPEDIA, tomorrow it may be ABECEDARIAN.

It is [more] offensive to some people, and some of
those people choose which words get censored on
their website. As long as SF isn't some kind of federal bureau or something, I think this is the way it should be.

If gynecomastia want to see some real down-and-dirty fortification action, stop by the Write Fight forum some time.

it's dirrrrrty fortification.
also that which shall not be named kicks ass. on big papers it gives you a good place to start. not a good source to use, but it gives you an idea of what you need to cover for a certain topic.

You might
need to
piece it
together.
(Also, go to the page in question, and click "history" at the top. I'd link to it but .. well .. you know.)

Heh.
Interesting history. I bow humbly to FM prerogative.
In my view the comedic value alone is worth it. It was like discovering an Easter Egg in a video game the first time I linked to something from wkpdia, and saw this [CENSORED].

There haven't been that many influential religious works in the past 200 years.
Anywho,

They should make
