Amusing - Occupy Wikipedia

A weird thing from Google News

Wow, that sounds really dumb.

The Total Surround Sound System

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 13:57:15 -0500

Dear Mr. Wales,

More than 20 years ago, I’ve been presented my concept of 3D sound (TSS -Total Surround Sound) in the professional motion picture industry. In the past 20 years I’ve published a number of papers on the AES and SMPTE conventions in Europe and USA. I am disappointed because on Wikipedia not exist any trace about named concept. Many years before of any known author and company (included Dolby labs.) I was first who is talking about overhead surround system (articles published in Journal of SMPTE-1993 and Sound & Video Contractor-1995).

I am ready to send you information about TSS concept as published in Sound&Video Contractor Journal in 1995.

Best Regards,

Tomislav Stanojevic

Best Wikipedia article ever

Best Wikipedia article ever:

Seriously though, everybody needs to read this. It is about VAMPIRE WATERMELONS.

“People have little fear of the vampire pumpkins and melons because of the creatures’ lack of teeth.”

Please.

Take a second and consider the web without Wikipedia.

Take a second to consider that a website of this caliber is still non-profit.

Share, please. If you can’t donate - I don’t think they mind.

Just be a catalyst for those who can.

I highly recommend reading this Star Wars Wikia entry about Lightsabers. It's ridiculously interesting.

Hi Jimbo! Welcome to Tumblr! Do you think it would be cool if Stephen Colbert could come to Wikimania in DC next year?

Yes, it would be cool. But he’s based in NYC and very busy, so I suspect unlikely!

Totally looks like? :)

“There’s a whole generation of bloggers, wikipedians and people on twitter people using social networks in China. They are there and they are becoming stronger, they will provide leadership when it’s needed, there’s no stopping them.The moment is right for them to demand their human rights”
