4. Wikipedia is dangerous.
I ended up staying awake until 2:30am the other night because I kept following links, most of which had nothing to do with what I originally looked up! You can really get caught up in all the stuff to be learned there. :)

5. Not nearly as useful as the Uncyclopedia!
A little taste:
This CD symbolizes the journey of a man through life. His name is Pink Floyd, making this album the biggest rip-off of the Wall ever. In fact, it's such a rip-off that Roger Waters announced that he will sue himself in late 2008.

But anyway, this CD circled around the life of Pink. It focuses on the big chapters of his life:

* Breathe/Speak to Me: This song tells us how Pink was born. Pink however was such a genius that he could already speak right after he was born.
* On the Run: It's only been three minutes since Pink's birth and he could already run. Apparently he has to catch a train. He catches the train, while laughing, causing a plane to crash somehow, even though that in itself is impossible.
* Time: While he is on the train, he apparently has several clocks in his pocket and they all go off at the same time. Then Pink ages into a seventy-something old man in the length of about only...what, seven minutes?

Okay, so we can already say that this album is not making any goddamn sense. But just when you thought it couldn't get any more ridiculously stupid than this, it does.

* The Great Gig in the Sky: Some Irish dude talks about dying. Then Pink dies, because some crazy bitch is screaming his ears off. I don't even know if this is true, but I really don't care anymore.
* Money: After Pink dies, he amazingly comes back to life and becomes rich, because he's able to "buy himself a football team". So does this mean that his love for football revived him or something?
* Us and Them: While he's rich, Pink becomes a racist and orders the government to bomb Africa. Then he shoves a homeless old man and has some tea with a slice of toast. Or something. I don't know.
* Any Colour You Like: Somewhere along the lines of being a rich racist dude who had come back to life (even though <1> death is permanent), Pink also had developed killer organ skills. Also, by looking at the spelling of the songs' title, he moved to England.
* Brain Damage: While in England, Pink went totally crazy. This is actually the only song on the whole album that makes some fucking sense.
* Eclipse: His craziness causes the sun to eclipse. Or not. You know what, I don't even care anymore. In fact, why did I even bother to continue talking about this piece of crap? I could've climbed Mt. Everest in that time-span for all I care.

So as a conclusion, you can say that the main caracter Pink is a man who is born, learned to speak, got old and was shouted to death in about 15 minutes. After that he became a rich racist dude who could play the organ really well and could cause the sun to eclipse with nothing but his mental craziness.

Now, if that isn't proof that Roger Waters was addicted to the "Magic Mushrooms", I don't know what is.

11. What about the people who wrote the wiki entry for Knight Rider?
Complete with descriptions of each character.

In case any of YOU feel like you are wasting your time in the lounge.
