i just got home from my other job, the office job, and after i settled onto the couch i wound up on my computer exploring wikipedia. As i journeyed from article to article i remembered the joy that i get while reading random articles that supply me with information that is truly useless. I usually search the site for information on old t.v. shows that i used to love(talespin) or video games that i used to play, in fact nine times out of ten i think i use wikipedia for nostalgic purposes. But the whenever that's not the case i find myself just reading goofy articles. Today as i searched through the massive online encyclopedia i stumbled upon the article for "French fried potatoes" and what an article to read. I never thought that such a small food item could have so much history, variety, and information surrounding it. I could tell you more but i challenge you to at least visit the article.proctor anderson

Hmmm.... Wikipedia must have a "trickle down" effect. Laura is obsessed with a fictional character from The Office who has a boss named Michael Scott who quoted the importance of Wikipedia in an episode this year. Laura hires Proctor, Proctor sites Wikipedia in a blog.....are you sure YOU aren't a fictional character as well? (article follows)
