    Re: Off Topic 2011

    I understand that anyone can edit Wiki... and I also understand it can still be factual, if said sources are provided, just like any piece of literature that has sources.

    But I laugh so hard at this huge "Wiki" crusade colleges, etc have taken a stance on. It is almost comical. Almost taking away "free thinking and expression" in a way, in force of the typical, cause this was a published book so it must be more factual, yet lots of those very theories and books are always getting amended as well due to "new discoveries", etc.

    It can be a useful and resourceful tool if you use it properly and wisely.

                Going to the last-ever Florida Marlins game tomorrow. It's supposed to be clear and sunny and they are expecting over 30,000 fans which for a non-opening day/game against the Yankees is a big deal for the Marlins. Can't wait.

                    Yeah, just gotta be smart about it and use common sense. I'm sure it's all the idiots who took Wikipedia as fact that demonized it in the eyes of colleges.

                                            A while back I posted how my limbs were going numb extremely fast. Well, it's still the same thing, but today while at the elementary school my entire left side of my face went numb for 15-20 seconds.

                                            Maybe time to go to a doctor?

                                                        Professional football team seeks short term replacement for the team's running back. Must be willing to relocate to the Cincinnati area, as well as travel on the weekends. Qualified applicants should have at least 14 years of professional football experience or similarly physically taxing employment history. Qualified applicants will also have either a criminal record, or will at least be comfortable dealing with teammates who may have criminal records. Prefer a 40 yard dash time at least under 5 second, but will consider higher times for the right candidate. 2006 Pro bowl roster is a plus.

                                                        Please submit resume and at least 5 highlights of being tackled from behind.
