We had an example today of how quickly Wikipedia can work. Wikipedia got some ink earlier in the day because in golfer Fuzzy Zoeller's bio, someone accused him of drinking heavily and abusing his family, but we figured that goes on all the time.

This afternoon we learned from WTAM that Celtic great Dennis Johnson had died. They stupidly said Dennis Rodman at first. So, we started searching the Internets and Google News for anything on Dennis Johnson. We found no announcements anywhere. I figured I'd check out what D.J. was doing these days on Wikipedia, and I'll be damned, someone had already updated his bio with his death. I'm trying to grasp who are these folks waiting to update on a moment's notice? It was startling to see how quick that entry got on that site.

Andy Warhol has been dead 20 years. And didn't that Anna Nicole judge milk his 15 minutes.

More David Caruso. And his sunglasses.

I saw KFC introduced a Fish Stacker. Now they are seeking the Pope's approval for the sandwich.

The Cavs let the trade deadline pass without making a move. Don't expect a title this year.
