The Source of Every Cool Persons' Knowledge

I'm speaking of Wikipedia. It's brilliant. I love it. I get joy from hearing one of my friends say "wiki that shit" when curious about something that tickles their interest that they don't know much about. It can even be the smallest most habitual thing that you never really think about until a pointless conversation comes up when you wonder: "Just how do fire hydrants work?" or "What does ATM stand for?" And hopefully after reading the latter you will never say ATM machine for fear of one of your friends knowing what it means or what a tautology is.

The reason I wanted to bring this up was: 1) because I don't know what else to write about but still want to write about something, and 2) I looked up a lot of things on wikipedia today.

I looked at a range of things to better understand my knowledge of them. Because I know you all of you have undying curiosity for my every move the list follows:

Serial Killer
Malapropism
Service of process
Secularity

To keep your interest that's all I will tell. But whenever something comes to mind even if I don't even want to look it up I automatically go to wikipedia and search it. The downside of this is that if I'm watching TV I find that i missed whats been happening for the past 10 minutes. It's like having to reread a page of a book due to loosing your train of thought. It's dangerous, but necessary.
