Huh. I just accidentally googled the string ["The] and the top four hits were:
1) The Onion
2) The White House
3) T.H.E. Journal Online (Technology Horizons in Education)
4) The Economist.
What a strange collection of items! I guess 3 of them, at least, are publications, so I guess they have that in common. #7 was the main page of Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia. Is it just me or is it creepy that they always manage to wrangle their way to the top of all searches everywhere?
Oh well. Back to sucking at life.

So, um, yes, WikipediaMart. Ubiquitous and creepy. And yet I made my first edit to it the other day it was really cool to be able to contribute to the Great Human Brain Dump Project. Though it does frighten me that some X-men characters have longer entries than various real people of seeming import (cf. Jean Grey vs. Colin Powell). Ah well, pop culture rules all, these days.
