I don't read the whole mailing list all the time so this may have  
already been discussed to death... but everyone _did_ see the IMHO  
hysterically funny article in The Onion,

"Wikipedia Celebrates 750 Years Of American Independence?"

http://www.theonion.com/content/node/50902

"Subheadings include 'Origins Of Colonial Discontent,' 'Some Famous  
Guys In Wigs And Three-Cornered Hats,' and 'Christmastime In  
Gettysburg.' It also features detailed maps of the original colonies— 
including Narnia." ... "Founder Wales, a closeted homosexual and hot- 
dog freak, according to his user-edited bio on the site..."

"On July 25, 1256, delegates gathered at Comerica Park to sign the  
Declaration Of Independence, which rejected the rule of the British  
over its 15 coastal North American colonies," reads an excerpt from  
the entry. "Little did such founding fathers as George Washington,  
George Jefferson, and ***ERIC IS A FAG*** know that their small,  
querulous republic would later become the most powerful and  
prosperous nation in history, the Unified States Of America."
