Wikipedia RACING, haha

I always tell people, I'm a true nerd at heart. Just because I'm good looking, good @ sports and don't get great grades in school doesn't mean I'm not into nerdy shit. This week I discovered a great new sport, well not really; actually what I found is Wikipedia racing. Now you ask, what is wikipedia racing? The idea of this game is simple, start off with a topic, something like 'intelligent design' for example then using the links inside that page, find something totally different like 'nintendo virtual boy'. Usually you play with 3 or more people so it's a race to see who gets there first. You may laugh @ me, and think I'm a loser but the game is really fun. If you think about it, it's the definition of competition. People racing against one another to reach an ultimate goal of victory. Don't think the game is easy either, there's no using backspace, you can't use the 'find' function. Additionally you can't search for anything or use the links to the side of the text, once you click something you gotta stay with it.

anyway, just wanted to introduce a new game to everyone, it's great to play @ school when you're bored, would never play it at home by myself though ;)

peace and love,
