Today's featured picture

Hamerkop

The hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) is a medium-sized wading bird. It is the only living species in the genus Scopus and the family Scopidae. Its closest relatives are thought to be the pelicans and the shoebill, in the order Pelecaniformes. The shape of its head with a long bill and crest at the back is reminiscent of a hammer, which has given this species its name after the Afrikaans word for hammerhead. It is a medium-sized waterbird with brown plumage. It is found in Africa and Arabia, living in a wide variety of wetlands, including estuaries, lakesides, fish ponds, riverbanks, and rocky coasts. This hamerkop was photographed at Lake Baringo in Kenya.

"Users of Wikipedia do get to recognise which parts are shaky, but the unwise may suddenly stumble into benighted stretches, like some crinkum-crankum byway in old London, where footpads lurked and communicable diseases were offered at low prices."
-- Christopher Howse in The Daily Telegraph, how very accurate.

Editor's quiz

Question 1

  • Wikipedia is:
  • (a) a social networking site for people who like to look quite clever
  • (b) a specialist website that allows sufferers of OCD to search for missing commas and fullstops
  • (c) an encyclopedia committee that expends 90% of its energy in pointless arguments over trivia
  • (d) a paranoid fascist organisation more concerned with enforcing rules than quality of content?
  • (e) a new religion
  • (f) a prolonged endurance test for those internet addictees, with failing eyesight and few remaining letters on their first generation laptops, who are still searching for the wiki-spellchecker
  • (g) "a poorly-run bureaucracy with the group dynamics of a cult" [8]
  • (h) an incessant pansy-throwing bickering match for know-it-all, more-knowledgeable-than-thou, big-headed show-offs
  • (i) a playground for internet bullies
