#23 Chile Downhill Bike Race

We like bikes here @ Wiki-Wha?. No, that's not a question; if you're new to checking this site out, the question mark (?) is part of our title, not a mistake in punctuation. SoGtWthIt!

Back to us liking bikes, right, we absolutely LOVE bikes. Riding them uphill. And then downhill, FAST.

The below, on the other hand, is just crazy.

To the guy riding:

YOU'RE NUTS, YO!

#22 Family Village (?)

While slumming through the usual internet mish-mash of this and that's I came across this fun (read: stupid) little app that will soon be launching on Facebook. It's called Family Village and is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. SimCity was so 1997. Why in the world would anyone want to re-connect with ancestors virtually - bringing them into a world they don't/won't know with things that never existed back in their time? Seemingly, this is just someone's answer to wanting to play God - conning their avatar-ancestors into leading a life they didn't really lead.

"players import their ancestors into a “Sims”-styled virtual world where they can build homes, go to work and share experiences just like in real life."

Wow. Srsly? Why not go out and accomplish these things for real - in real life? "Import" anscestors? No. See. That's just not possible. Going back in time. Now that's possible, as evidenced in the Back to the Future trilogy; due in-part to Dr. Emmett Brown's invention, the almighyt Flux Capacitor. And no, Family Village has not yet made it to the archives of Wikipedia; more info on this time-suck can be found in this article, however.

#21 Fruit Flies

If I had to wish one thing on my mortal enemy it wouldn't be Swine Flu or watching the same episode of "I Love Lucy" for all eternity or even having to eat horse shit for a lifetime. Nope. None of the above. It would undoubtedly be having to co-habitate an office full of fruit flies.

We won't go into details about how, because that would lead to discussion of rotten bananas and office cleanliness. So we'll leave it at this, I have an office cohabitant. More like 50.

Experts say that fruit flies have a tremendously short life span. Just under a week is the typical life expectancy. They must fuck like rabbits cause we're going on a month now straight with these bastards buzzing about.

Fruit flies land on everything you don't want them to, your food, your drink, your nose. They buzz your eyeballs and crawl on your monitor. They're fast as hell, probably not capable of flying in a straight line, yet I'm damn proud to say I've killed five with my bare hands. You may not be impressed. Which is understandable. But for your sake, go ahead and check out the scale in the above photo. Yeah, these guys are small. And being able to see them is a feat alone.

I guess the most irritating fact about the fruit fly is that it's my fault they're cohabitating this office.

But a bunch of little bugs aren't gonna stop me from eating bananas.

That's what she said...

#20 Twitter

A couple things. For those of you that have been religiously following this blog, we are no longer limiting ourselves to content found explicitly on Wikipedia. We figure we shouldn't hold ourselves back, and we're sure you agree. So, adding to all the other unoriginal poser-comedy websites out there (failblog.org, stuff white people like, awkward family photos and texts from last night [to name a few]), we'll be pulling more nonsensical content from more places.

Like Twitter. Which, like every other knob-gobbling 'social media guru' or 'social media guru in training,' Wiki_Wha has impregnated as well. Welcome to the future.

#19 Google Analytics

Does it creep you out that the word 'analytics' contains the word 'anal' in it?  Well it sure creeps us out.

A few months ago we installed Google Analytics on Wiki-Wha? to see how many people actually visit this page after we realized that bullshit counter thingy isn't worth a bit of anything.  

It's fascinating to see how many people visit this blog.  It's also fascinating to see how much time people don't spend reading this blog, where the average visit lasts a whopping 23 seconds.  We aren't harping on people stopping by for quickies, don't get us wrong, but 23 seconds???  C'mon readers....this is some of the best free entertainment for miles (we realize there's no such thing as free, but we can dream), and, we're happy you stopped by to check things out - whether you meant to or not.

Either way, if you've got a website, blog or are just a plain geek, check out this Analytics program from Google (also free) and get psyched to see how many people don't visit your site.  Once you get everything set up and tracking on your page be sure to check out where people are visiting from - like, we've got visitors from Australia.  Now that's some neat stuff, mate!

#18 Synergy

Just like everything else in today's world, someone who felt they were brighter, smarter and technically superior to the rest of us (and had some working knowledge of the Greek language) had to come up with a fancy way of saying "let's work together."

Congratulations, buddy, you've accomplished basically nothing as the phrase "let's work together" was doing a perfect job of getting the point across before you came along with your fancy, uppity speak.  

Synergize this.

#17 Behold - Dickipedia

Your a dick, we're a dick....seems like today everyone is a dick, in some form or another.  

Ok - maybe that was a little harsh.  NOT.  

Richards?  Are you there???  Again, we digress.  Moving on!

We've all got a little bit of a dick inside us, and this wonderful off-shoot inspired by the mothership that is Wikipedia chronicles the who's who of dicks in the public sector, past and present alike.  You would think that it would be made obvious through the social media outlets, news and other, worthier blogs than this, who the societal dicks of today are; but it's great to be able to  see all of the biggest dicks out there in one place - Dickipedia.

Also, be sure to check out the "random page" link from the main menu for a Russian Roulette style of thumbing through the dicks.
