I think we should start a new game: “What Can’t You Find on Wikipedia?”, or, alternatively, “Stump Wikipedia”. Seriously, they have over 1.4 million articles now, and it keeps going up. Is there a ceiling?
Although you have to stick to real subjects… you can’t punch something in like “nitrate waffles” and expect a legitimate response. (See Googlewhacking if that’s the game you want to play.)
Of course, the irony here is even if someone were to find such a subject, that person or another could immediately create a new article for it… thereby negating the point.
So how soon before Wikipedia becomes sentient?

Wikipedia is already sentient. It’s just waiting for someone as intelligent as it is so it can have a conversation that doesn’t start with "’sup?"
HAHA. That was hilarious, Dave.
The internet is exactly what he was imagining, isn’t it? — Which writer was that, whose network came to life? Heinlein?
Todd Lake has no entry, nor Sparks Lake etc.
Jennifer, couldn’t say. Clarke predicted satellites, I think. Gibson invented the word "cyberspace." Etc.
And you win Stumping Wikipedia for today. Only til someone adds those articles. 😉
