Bush distantly related to Kerry

[trenzterra]

Was reading Wikipedia over the last few days, and noticed this:

As a side note, the current Bush family is believed to be descended from the Spencer family that produced Diana, Princess of Wales, which would make George W. Bush a 17th cousin to Prince William of Wales. Obidiah Newcomb Bush's wife, Harriet Smith, and their descendants, are also distant cousins of John Kerry.

Interesting!

We're all related through adam and eve.

Oh yes, and we all know how accurate the Wikipedia is.

 

[trenzterra]

Oh yes, and we all know how accurate the Wikipedia is.

Very accurate, 99% of the time.

Very accurate, 99% of the time.

Where on earth did you pull that statistic from ?

Well, I think we all know the answer to that question. :devious2:

A source that allows random users to update definitions is *definately* not 99% accurate, that's for sure.

The people who run Wikipedia do check for bad edits too.

I personally think its a good idea. Even encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com got some articles from Wikipedia.

BTW http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=politicsNews&storyID=5986623 is an interesting read as well, saying why Kerry will win November's election.

I used it today researching Picasso too, and added a whole lot of crap to the three pages .

One source - plagiarism
Many sources - research

Hah, that's fair enough.

I just don't appreciate Trenzterra making up statistics like that. :confused4

 

[tandoc]

the only time i was wrong was when i thought i was wrong but was right.
