by Steve West on December 5, 2024
Recent conversation with Brenda:
Me: I just got a text from a Facebook friend that was funny and cruel at the same time.
Brenda: Do I want to hear this?
Me: He saw a "Missing Dog" poster, called the number and only barked.
Brenda: (hiding a grin) That's awful. How do you respond to something like that?
Me: Well, after I finish a guilty chuckle, I'm gonna unfriend him. Bad Dog!
Brenda: I hope he whimpers.

Without trying to seem overly paranoid, I've always been just a little suspicious of Wikipedia entries since they can be easily manipulated. A student has created a program that tracks just who is making changes to Wikipedia; adding exaggerated claims or deleting sections with negative connotations. Go »
