I’ve been way behind in my blogreading the last few weeks, owing to a huge amount of, you know, actual work for my day job, so this may have been all over the Internets already. On the off chance that it hasn’t, via Ethan Zuckerman, a link to Wikipedia Brown and the Case of the Captured Koala:
Leroy Brown’s head was like Wikipedia. It was full of facts he had learned there. He was like the entire Wikipedia site walking around on sneakers. Simon Baron-Cohen had written a paper about him.
It’s done as a set of image files, which is kind of annoying, but it’s worth reading all the way to the end.
