Apologies if this is old, but something amusing I stumbled across today;
QUOTE I Like Wikipedia Some say Wikipedia can't be trusted, but I think it's great for getting basic info. Like, did you know that the Civil War and the War of 1805 were actually separate battles, despite occurring in the same century? I also learned that pornography has been around since the dawn of sex. Speaking of sex, Gordon Jump once guest-starred on an episode of Diff'rent Strokes as a pedophile who attempted to molest Arnold and his best friend Dudley (played by Shavar Ross, who has been married since 1992 and has about two children). Speaking of the eighties, John Lennon (born Johnathan Chaz Ono Lennon) was shot and later died during the 1980s while wearing his favorite "New York City" t-shirt during his last concert at Mets Stadium. Speaking of t-shirts, check out this Wikipedia t-shirt. Did you know that Kangaroos are actually not born with wings but develop them later in life? Guess where I learned that! ![]() |

Couldn't the Wikimedia Foundation sue as they own the name "Wikipedia?"

Couldn't the Wikimedia Foundation sue as they own the name "Wikipedia?" Anyone can sue anyone for anything, but parody is typically a defense for uses like this. Is that SlimVirgin in those Foster's Glyphs? If it is, she has a time machine. By Brandt's reckoning, Slim is closing in on 50. The girl in that photo hasn't seen 25 yet, I'd wager. ![]() |

Couldn't the Wikimedia Foundation sue as they own the name "Wikipedia?" No. There is no 'passing off' going on. Who is going to fire up a Zazzle.com or Cafepress.com account and sell some Wikipedia Review t-shirts based on the New Motto for Wikipedia topic?. It wont make a lot but it will probably pay for the webhosting and will raise awareness. |

Or, it could be a pact with the devil. So many other possibilities for a truly superior woman; open your mind.
