This is not the first time Wiki has succumbed to random moments of geekery. And once, by clicking "random article" repeatedly, I came up with Shigeru Miyamoto and Nobuo Uematsu in consecutive pages. It made me giggle.

Wiki is where I get 90% of my info.  Started there for almost every paper in college.  It's so easy.

Since I'm not in school at the moment, I check Wiki every day, and click on "Random Article" ten times to learn ten new (interesting) things. They've got to be stuff worth learning about, though; I couldn't care less about some tiny town in Iowa that's only got a population of six because it's just someone's farm.

Farms have more than six people >.> cause theres alot of jobs to be done so its either like 12 people or like 1 ninja person who duplicates him self 12 times so that the original can just sit down and do nothin while the rest do all the works...

Not really..I mean,...My dad grew up on a farm. It depends on the size. Big fams have a miilion people doing lots of things, but dad's 10 acre had...Three? Him, his sister, and his mom.

It also depends on the farm, there's lotsa kinda, from animals, to big cash crops, to flower farming. My dad did Anime (Goat and flowers. Just flower farming in the later years)

The farms you're thinking about are big farms, and there's actualy less of those in america, but they're what everyone thinks of. They're like....The large chain joints of farms. Really horrible actually. Thy suck, and are taking land and jobs away from small farmers.  America was built on the small farmer, and there very may well be only six people. ^^

Yay smal Farmers! We love you!

I have a screencap of the page on "Elephants" where someone added the 'population has been growing in the past 3 months' thing. XD It was great.
