Long story short…
I was doing research for my humor assignment, where I had to write two pages worth of monologues. I wrote a joke involving Pope Benedict and wanted to find out exactly how old he is.
I googled (you know, ‘google‘ is officially a word, according to the dictionary) “Pope Benedict,” and the very first response came from none other than the god of Wikipedia.
The Vatican’s official Web site came in second.
Is there something wrong with that? Is Google going to hell?

Wikipedia has taken over the google search results…. some say it’s a good thing/some say bad… as for me it makes my life a lot easier in finding the information in the fastest possible way…. even if it involves skipping the official website and looking at it in wikipedia haha..
