I just went to wikipedia... searching for something. Funny thing is, when I noticed that "Wonderbra" is the featured article of the day, I utterly forgot what I went there for. Seriously. It's gone.

OH! Just remembered. Carbon fiber.

See, now that's how I felt after the boxer briefs post awhile back.

Heh. It just struck me as really funny that I was visiting wikipedia as an intellectual exercise, to further my knowledge a bit on a topic that I knew a little, but not enough, about. And a mere passing glance of OMG BOOBIE ENHANCING TECHNOLOGY struck me completely dumb.

Yes, the blokes in the office noticed that too. The person who drew it to everyone's attention completely forgot that he was meant to be looking up information on lending trends in the sub-prime market.

What do you need to know about carbon fiber?

Nothing in particular, doohickie, just looking for something to read about while I ate my lunch. I had a vague idea what it was all about, but I like learning more. An' shit.

I find myself on wikipedia often, but *never* via the front page. Maybe I should head there more often.

The wonderbra is evil subterfuge. It makes you see boobies where there arent any. No fair.

Yeah, dano, I normally get to wikipedia via Firefox's search bar. But I just got a new PC at work and haven't yet installed wikipedia's search plugin.

jonmc, while I agree, that only becomes an issue if you're actually going to be getting the thing off.

But for those of us with boobies, jon, it makes them even awesomer.
