Shiva: <generic statement of fact>

Sina: How do you know?

Shiva: I just know.

Sina: Is it on Wikipedia?

Shiva: I dunno — it doesn’t matter.

Sina: If it’s not on Wikipedia, it’s not true.

Shiva: Is that on Wikipedia?

Sina: That would be a self-reference and would thus be insignificant.

[pause]

Shiva: That’s what she said.

Sina: I know dude, I was there.

I wrote this in my drafts a few months ago with the above title to eventually be posted. Why not now, I suppose.

The “…..” was a generic statement that was meant to be filled later, since I couldn’t think of anything at the time of writing. I don’t think I’ll fill it though.

Jess: Did you write in Wikipedia that “…..”

Sina: *shocked* I would never vandalize Wikipedia. Ever. You know that.

Jess: Well it says “…..”. You’re the only person that knows that.

Sina: Maybe someone read your diary.

Jess: I don’t have a diary.

Sina: Maybe someone hacked your Facebook.



UPDATE (28 April 2010): Just fyi, this represents a typical conversation between me and Jessica.

Wikipedia Knows Everything March 19, 2009

People at work seem to be amazed at how quickly I find information. I find it amazing how amazing they find this. Really.

Here are three general rules to remember:

  1. Wikipedia knows everything. No exceptions.
  2. Google is your friend. All smart people use Google.
  3. Find/Replace will save you time reading/writing. Use it.

Remember that and all the old people you know will think you know everything.

Conservapedia might be Wikipedia's evil step-brother March 7, 2009

Conservapedia informs us that “Obama is likely the first Muslim President” of the United States. They argue this because “Obama’s background, education, and outlook are Muslim, and fewer than 1% of Muslims convert to Christianity.”

But that all doesn’t matter anyway. Why? Because Obama isn’t the President of the United States. This follows from the fact that fewer than 0.0000001% of Americans have ever been the country’s President.
