What was the last thing you Wikied.

(NOTE: It doesn't necessarily have to be Wikipedia, it can be any site)

The last thing I Wikied was a list of the oldest living state leaders (it's Telmo Vargas, who ruled Ecuador for a day in 1966--he is 102 years old).

i KNEW it! it was only a matter of time!
just by looking at the store when i walk past it, i get the feeling it was on its last legs! too bad. so sad.

anyway, last thing i wikied: Beit She'an. wanted to check if it was a place so i could put it in the 'a-z of towns and cities thread. :D

Gilmore Girls

On the 'interview the person below you' thread I asked 'what made you laugh recently' and the answer was Gilmore Girls which I'd never heard of

If you dont go to Wikipeadia then it's not "Wikiing". It's "Googling".

The initial "g" in "George."

I took phonetics in college.

I hate to say it: but my last Wikipedia inquiry was for Bobbi Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston, who might share the same fate, in exactly the same way.

Brazilwood, a type of tree. It was for a PC game I was playing.

Apparently it's where the country Brazil got its name from.

I Wikied some soul music group from the 1970s. I forgot which one, though.

Bad short-term memory!
