This is so true about Wikipedia, I often go to Wikipedia to search for some computing related stuff and end up reading a bunch of articles from Aristotle to Zula. These are the times when productive time is turned unproductive.
(The problem with Wikipedia.)
Well and finally, if you’re really interested, you can check out Wikipedia for emergency bleeding control. There’s a picture of a bleeding guy smiling happily, looking pleased with himself in there.
On a side note, going to Digg.com destroys productivity too.

Never seen Silk comics before but this is pretty good.
The problem with Windows Vista is the confusing editions. There is just too many editions. Windows should really just have two editions maximum – the Home Premium one and the Ultimate one. Or perhaps just have one – that worked well for Apple.
Hi, I’d like to buy a copy of Vista.
Which one would you like?

Last week, when I was walking around a zoo, a thought just came to my mind – what if a elephant sees an elephant soft toy, how would it react to it. It probably wouldn’t be able to recognize it as an elephant. I have a soft toy elephant and those elephants at the zoo might recognize it.

The poor crocodile misses his parents. Try to avoid purchasing items made of animal skin. Think of the crocodile.
Dear Yahoo!
Why does Superman wear his underwear on top of his clothes?
- Andy (Brisbane, Australia)
(Superman loves his red underwear; he wears them proudly.)
I never really give much thought to this issue, just lots of laughter and a bunch of jokes being derived from it. So I stumbled across something from Yahoo! Answers.
Dear Andy:
According to Superman through the Ages, several theories attempt to explain the origin of his peculiar costume. In a 1940 comic, Superman says he invented the costume himself from “cloth immune to the most powerful forces.” (Look out, Tommy Hilfiger.) A few years later, it’s revealed that Superman’s adoptive mother constructed the outfit from blankets found wrapped around the infant when he landed on Earth.
More recent comics state that the costume “acquired its indestructibility…as the result of being transported from the planet Krypton.” Well, OK, but why does the Man of Steel dress like an ’80s aerobics instructor? If we had to hazard a guess, we’d say it’s for aesthetics and nothing more. Without the red trunks, he’d look like a male ballerina in blue pantyhose. And not even Superman could pull off that look.
So there you have it. You can check out Yahoo! Answers for more questions and answers. It’s quite good, but it’s hard to find the questions that has been asked though. Perhaps an improvement would be nice.
