Distributed stereotype ranking self-evaluations for Great Britain. Food and monarchy head the list. Full list nowhere to be seen online, which is a shame as that sort of list would be a good air-clearer for finding out less-appreciated facets of a national psyche.

Unfortunately, WikiDay is on hiatus due to insufficient funding. How will I tell the children that WikiDay has been cancelled? Please, think of the children.

How about for Wiki Day, you issue the crummy.com wikipedia challenege, where we are asked to go contribute something to wikipedia, anything between a minor grammatical/clarity problem to an entirely new article? I'll go make my contribution right now.

That's a good idea. Do your part for Wikipedia! Have your contribution be lost in the noise of new users coming in from the Salon article! I'll paint the barn!

Of course, since Wikipedia is still bogged down, maybe we should do it tomorrow.

"a traditional cooked breakfast of sausages and eggs and Buckingham Palace" ????? I have heard that English breakfasts are heavy.

yes, I thought that "cookie" could use a good deal more commas, and some re-arranging.

Hey maybe Salon.com will hire me!

i fixed a couple things on the Tron wikipedia entry... and noted that in general it really sucks and could use a complete rewrite.

I added a sub-recipe for garlic croutons to the cookbook. Man, the cookbook needs some automatic indexing or something!
