I am sure by now everyone has heard about the 1,000 point stock market dip today. Turns out, a big part of it was an "oops":

A human trading error at a major firm was the root cause of Thursday's sudden, 9 percent selloff in U.S. stocks, sources told CNBC.

Multiple sources said a trader entered the letter "b"-as in "billion"-when he or she meant to type "m," for "million," shortly before 2:47 p.m. New York time.

Yeah, the problems in Greece (and probably Spain next) are to blame for the real drop today, but this sure didn't help.

Wait, what? Wikipedia has porn? If I can get it from Wikipedia why that's like doing research. Nothing pervy or dirty about that! Now what phrases to "Research"?

I may have mentioned this before, but it is entirely due to Wikipedia that I know the term "the silent duck".

The yellow gloves are a nice touch.

I suck at depravity. I can't find anything on Wikipedia above mildly titillating.

Nothing that even comes close to fitting the description:

Okay, so I suppose it's got educational value. But still, not too shabby for legitimate research.
