The Klingon Wikipedia

I can't stop laughing when I read this. Wired magazine has a lovely article about what it calls The Klingon Wikipedia- "the encyclopedia that huge nerds can edit". This is basically about an alternative wikipedia which explains things in simple English as opposed to regular English version.
The writer also imagines what it would be like if there were alternative versions like 'The Limerick Version". I particularly love the sarcastic version. So see for yourselves how it would be to have different versions of wikipedia.

The Regular English version
"Grasses, or more technically graminoids, are monocotyledonous, usually herbaceous plants with narrow leaves growing from the base. They include the 'true grasses,' of the Poaceae (or Gramineae) family, as well as the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae)."

The Simple English version
"Grass is a type of plant that covers the ground like a green rug. If it gets too cold or dry, it turns brown. There is a family of plants called the 'grass family.' The plants in the grass family are called grasses.

Sullenly Sarcastic Wikipedia
So I'm sure you've never actually seen grass, so you have no idea that it's a plant, right? Like, there's no way you could just look out the freaking window or go to the park or something and see grass. Hey, guess what plant family grasses belong to? The rhododendron family? The weasel family? It couldn't possibly be the grass family, now, could it?

Limerick Wikipedia
There's a family of plants they call grass.
Many grow in a green, leafy mass.
Other types include grain,
And, of course, sugar cane.
It's a breakfast plant none can surpass.

Excessively Neutral Point of View Wikipedia
Grass, according to many people who are scientists, or who are at least defined as scientists by what many people consider the scientific community, is a plant, although there are those who consider the distinction between plants and animals an artificial distinction and would classify them as "living things," or "objects," or "observable ideas." There appear to be up to five or more people, give or take up to four or more, who post to Plant Conspiracy, which most people would consider a message board, who claim to deny that grasses exist, and who say that what we call grass is actually a very unusually shaped species of terrier. Most people would agree that many people think that these people are what would normally be considered nuts.

Digression Wikipedia
Grass is a plant that you grow, or smoke, am I right? I had this roommate in college, he was such a stoner he took botany just to learn about grow lights. Anyhow, there are a bunch of types of grass, like sedges, which I always get mixed up with sledges. Hey, remember that TV show Sledge hammer? That was a killer show. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing!" Right? Heh. I wonder what that guy is doing now. IMDB says he was on Law & Order, but who hasn't been? Has Wil Wheaton been on Law & Order? He totally should be. He'd make an awesome murderer. Did you see the one with Martin Short?
