Wikipedia is down for the day, which means that right now in the entire world there is no way to check facts. Sure you can go to the library and spend 20 minutes trying to find the references section (never did learn that decimal system did you?), but even when you do find the encyclopedias, you’ll be looking through information published in 1997, as the government declared that would be the last year encyclopedias could be printed.
I’ve decided to take advantage of the remaining hours of utter chaos (have the riots started yet?) and compile a list of facts that cannot be proven as anything other than fact until the guardian of the truth, Wikipedia, returns from the darkness. Good luck trying to find information that says Houston Nutt did not always have ants in his pants, because he TOTALLY did.
