The Finite

What with all the apprehension at school lately, Cassidy found a nice way to break the tension last week.

Yes, he did fill the hallway with smoke. I hope he’ll still be there in January.

It’s a shame that most teachers don’t trust Wikipedia. It’s where I get most of my info, but alas, it does have a bias towards the scienc-y stuff and away from the historical and social for obvious reasons. So I was a little surprised when Cassidy set out to prove to us that Wikipedia was not to be trusted.

He looked up “fat free potato chips olestra” in Google and pointed out to me how credible Wikipedia was.

Okay, first of all, that excerpt is taken out of context. If you look at the actual page, you’ll see that that particular excerpt comes from the footnotes section and links to a pop culture reference on craigslist.

Hah! Score one for the unwashed, wiki-editing masses. Well, actually, I was defending the masses. Okay, the score is still zero for masses then. Hah! Score zero!
