Twitter shows us just how lost we are without Wikipedia


We know that our society has grown somewhat dependent on Wikipedia for quick facts. But just how much do we rely on the crowdsourced encylopedia for our information? Today’s SOPA Blackout Day gave us a glimpse.
It appears that when Wikipedia is taken out of the equation, people are utterly confused. With no Wikipedia to resolve fact disputes, how can we get anything straight? See for yourself, with our assortment of tweets tagged #FactsWithoutWikipedia:

How Dinosaurs Died

Who knew? We’ll have to wait until Wikipedia is back up to verify, but it sounds logical to me.

It all makes sense now.

Disney’s secret

We have lots of reading to do.

The beloved King James

Ouch.

The Fab Four

Though he was often overshadowed by Lennon and McCartney, Pippen played a mean guitar and penned the classics Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Little Gungan Monster

We promise to never mention Jar-Jar Binks on this website ever again.

Theory of relativity

Sounds about right.

Dire consequences

Comment allons-nous survivre?

Sing us a song

We hear Dave Coulier helped with the last verse.
