fetch the html from wikipedia.org with something like wget
(playing nicely and using delays!) and then extract the
first <p> element with something which parses the html
into a tree. I've done that using perl with HTML::Tree.
Generally a regular expression like /<p\b.+?<\/p>/ might
do the extraction just as well, but cheaper and faster
if you,re just after the first <p> element!
Really cheap, I know!
