Remember how I said you shouldn't source Wikipedia? Well here's another reason. Fox News likes to edit it.
Ha!

Did you know that a fox's tail is called a "brush"?
You can have a pet domesticated fox of your very own - from the Russian fox farm I've previously written about - for the low low price of just $5,950.
When I saw these pictures over at Zooborns, I knew they had to be this week's dose of cute. These are some of the cutest animals I have ever seen!
There is a small bit of land, only about a square kilometer, that has added a new wrinkle to the story of animal domestication.
Apparently www.geeksaresexy.net must be down, or my DNS server is being mean again.
Heh. I'm working to clean Wikipedia up. =)
Know what? Even with Fox News spinning Wikipedia as fast and as hard as they can, it's still oodles more accurate than the average creationist site.
And the Vatican, and the CIA.... oops.
You have to love it when they get caught doing silly things:

Most of the edits detected by the scanner correct spelling mistakes or factual inaccuracies in profiles.
However, others have been used to remove potentially damaging material or to deface sites.
When they know there's a problem, Wikipedia administrators work fast. This identified address has already been banned for three months for the POV-pushing edits. Of course, this still shows how Wikipedia isn't always going to be reliable. Personally, I prefer to use it as a starting point for learning about a subject, then going to the sources it references for more accurate information and any citations I need. Oh, and it's also fun to screw with people who base an argument off a single sentence in Wikipedia by changing it.
Weel, it does help when one of the Wikipedia administrators reads this blog =)
