Wikipedia Sucks!

Thanks for introducing me to Bill Hicks. I was almost totally media-isolated at that point. You are welcome. Hicks pretty much smoked himself to death in the span of a decade - his body was susceptible to cancer....some people seem to be able to smoke for decades without getting lung cancer, other ...

The inbed video isn't showing up so here's another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fABx2jZZrNg You are right, there have been almost 300 edits to the WP article just today.

....So there was a flat-Earther rocket guy named Mike Hughes ("Mad" Mike* to his friends) and he was killed yesterday trying to test-fly a steam rocket that would have taken him 5,000 feet in the air (which is under the 10,000 foot USAF "angels" slang term - calling in "Angels 11" means the aircraf...

EVilgent is not a Wikitop user. That material is being copied verbatim (slightly condensed) from WPO as documentation of what is allowed there without any restraint.

Crowell is DONE! He LOST his FCC appeal!!!!!

Read it and weep tears of joy: https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-20-12A1.pdf
