Dad Delivers Baby Using Wiki 249
sonamchauhan writes "A Londoner helped his wife deliver their baby by Googling 'how to deliver a baby' on his mobile phone. From the article: 'Today proud Mr Smith said: "The midwife had checked Emma earlier in the day but contractions started up again at about 8pm so we called the midwife to come back. But then everything happened so quickly I realized Emma was going to give birth. I wasn't sure what I was going to do so I just looked up the instructions on the internet using my BlackBerry."'"

The AT&T EDGE service on my Blackberry would have delivered the information by the baby's 1st birthday if I was lucky. That is making the assumption that the built in browser could actually load the webpage.

The internet can be used to answer all sorts of questions! I recently left my laptop unattended in the living room, and when I came back "How to get a threesome in Dragon Age" was in the search box.
The only question now is which one of my roommates needed to resort to a FAQ to figure that one out...

The reliability of Wikipedia articles is considered by most to be uncertain, as sources find that many errors are produced by editors who clean-up articles. Most errors go undetected for long periods of time. [1] [slashdot.org]

A friend of mine once changed the article for the movie Beaches to indicate that Arnold Schwarzenegger had a small, and uncredited cameo.
Wikipedia is the best thing to happen to gambling since rigged dice and double sided coins.
