Something Outrageous

(8)

The previous post (7) 'did not publish' again but I shall continue. This brings me to what must be my last post until next Friday night: Wikihow.

You may have heard of 'wikipedia' which is an online encyclopedia which can be modified by readers. I love the concept!

Wikihow mimics this concept, proposing itself as an encyclopedia of 'how to do stuff.' I found the idea to be absolutely hilarious because of the fact that I know how to do some very outrageous stuff. At first glance this site appears to be a serious attempt to promote understanding, especially semi-technical understanding, among the masses. When this site is 'fully built out' you could theoretically go to it and find out, for example, how you could build an atomic bomb, or how to unstop the potty. This is valuable information!

But what interested me about the site was the idea that ordinary people like me would be able to tell others how they managed to do something utterly outrageous.
