What is this thing called an 'encyclopedia'? Is it a noun?
I used encyclopedias through 2nd grade. Between then and Wiki, google and alta vista sufficed. Now Wiki is my ultimate resource.
Yeah, yeah, I know, it's not fact.... Anyone can post.... But its USUALLY right... especially pages with references. It is far superior to an encyclopedia because it is VERY current (updated every second).
If I don't know what something is, I Wiki it. That will give me the gist of what I'm looking for. The links at the bottom of the page rock too, because I can find out more info that way.
So yeah, basically, encyclopedias, in my house, are used for counterweights in various projects, such as catapults, etc.
