I'm currently working on a potted biog of Jimi Hendrix, and will insert into the article links to the WIKI entries for the lyrics of his 2 related songs 'Voodoo Chile' and 'Voodoo Chile(Slight Return)'. Other WIKI articles that I've recently found interesting are those on Yuletide and the Fly Agaric fungus, which AR recently posted to the Stormcock list. That last one definitely qualifies for the weirdness award :-) I use Wiki quite a lot for research for articles I write for my Yahoo group, and which may eventually appear on the group’s blog shown above.
