With Wikipedia down, Timothy Lee points out that this could be Wikipedia-alternative Citizendium‘s chance to shine. I tried to use it, but it’s pretty… thin. Personally, I thought that this was Uncyclopedia’s turn at the wheel. They joined the blackout, though. Shame. That would have made for some awesome term papers.
A Missed Opportunity

Part-poligeek, part-geek, sometimes substitute teacher, sometimes professional gearhead, off-and-on amateur fiction writer. He is primarily interested in the balancing of competing interests and points of view where answers are not easily found.

To bad Encyclopedia Dramatica isn’t still around, today would have been lulzy for it.
It’s right here, isn’t it?
Warning: Encyclopedia Dramatica is about the least safe for work thing on the Internet, which says a lot.
I would, no kidding, get in less trouble at work going to a .xxx domain than a .ch one.
Your boss really hates the Swiss?
… he may live in Australia, where (writing for) Encyclopedia Dramatica is enough to get you banned from the country.
Freedom of speech is SUCH a foundation of Western Society.
Serious?
… actually met people who surfed p0rn sites for work. they “needed models.” It would be hard to find a non-academic job where you would surf ED.
Although you could still read Wikipedia through the l33t hax0r move of turning off “Active Scripting”, so it wasn’t really all that bad.
