I was heading across to Wikipedia for some brief research for my Physics coursework, when I typed the address wrong. Up came the "here are some associated sites we found" page. Good for a laugh, although it's a pretty big step from "Wikipedia" to... well, have a look.

:shiftyr:

By far, the easiest and fastest way I've found to search for a page in Wikipedia is not to go the the Wikipedia home page, but to open up a window with Google - or use the Google toolbar - type in what you're looking for and just append "wiki" as an additional search term. 99% of the time the first result returned will be what you want, and the pages load faster than Wikipedia's interface.

Over where I live, one of our local radio stations is always playing commercials for a male sexual enhancement nose spray. Yes, apparently a snort of this stuff will make you harder for longer.

The foreplay with that must be a blast. "Excuse me while I... freshen up." *SNOOOOOOORT*

Hmm... playing Warcraft and doing Physics Coursework at the same time?

Well observed!

I merely had Warcraft open at the time, I had been playing it earlier and kept it up while I'd been talking to some friends. ;)

You beat me to it!

RR, talking on Warcraft would have been a serious distraction. And it probably lagged your computer heaps, unless you had a super-powerful system. :)

Warcraft isn't a graphics-intensive game, so assuming you aren't online, it probably wouldn't lag any midrange system today. Of course, this is just assuming he wasn't online, and knowing RedRag... he probably was.

In other news, I've nothing else to do with the Internet thoughtfully provided by the United States Navy. Wheee!

Quite how one gets from Wikipedia to Sexual Performance Aid I do not know. Anyway good luck on the Physics Coursework.


Oh and ... ahem ... own3d0406, in the Queens English it is spelled favourites, laziness in grammar is not something to be admired.

According to his profile, Dutch. :P

*On topic*
Or get Wiki' as a search engine (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search-engines/) to FF. ;)
