Wikipedia better?

The Wikipedia debate has been in the news lately: Is Wikipedia as good as Britannica? Is Wikipedia susceptible to bias? All very weighty and serious questions.

But it seems pretty clear to me that Wikipedia is better than any encyclopedia that has come before. Where else can you find encyclopedic coverage of nose-picking or the five-second rule?

For more gems from this repository of human knowledge, see the unusual articles page or the entry on how to keep an idiot busy.
