Links

Wikipedia article links to interesting things you may not know enough about. It is frequently commented that Wikipedia is by its nature innacurate however I have found it to be almost as factually accurate as a print encyclopedia but more complete. My main gripe with Wikipedia continues to be their gaps in world history.

I have been notified that several other sites have been making lists of interesing or strange Wikipedia articles including wikipedia ( Unusual Articles ) and you will find a lot of cross-over. I still plan on maintaining this list as I have also been notified that my list is one of the better ones. Thank you for your support.
