Wikipedia has exceeded the 2 million article mark on Sept. 9 2007 with a piece on El Hormiguero, a Spanish language variety show. This number is impressive but it does not even begin to hint at the scope of the Wikipedia project. Wikipedia editions in 71 different languages have surpassed the 10,000 article mark, and the growth is only accelerating. Since El Hormiguero's inclusion, just three days before I wrote this, another 4,000 articles have been added.

Remove bones from pot and strip all meat from the bones. Return meat to pot. Chop all vegetables into bite size pieces and add to the pot. Check and adjust for seasoning. Cook slowly until vegetables are done. Serve with cornbread and enjoy. Recipe supplied by cooking school.

A new client had just come in to see a famous lawyer.
"Can you tell me how much you charge?", said the client.
"Of course", the lawyer replied, "I charge $200 to answer three questions!"
"Well that's a bit steep, isn't it?"
"Yes it is", said the lawyer, "And what's your third question?"
