Good reading (Re: Wikipedia concerning smarts)

[xrayguy32]

I thought this was cool to read about!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_(automobile)

[BigWarpGuy]

Here is the Wiki on the Smart Car. The other link showed 'Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact title. Please search for Smart (automobile in Wikipedia to check for alternative titles or spellings. "

The link is incomplete, and doesn't want to paste correctly. The correct link is:

Smart (automobile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahh, Wikipedia, made by random people, for random people. I don't use it because many of the times they are largely just fibbing but as for the smart, it looks somewhat legit.

And when you get into college you're going to be amazed at the number of students that will try to use Wikipedia as a quality source for research projects. Even scarier than that, a lot of instructors will allow it, not check the source, or even won't care at all. Those are the instructors to avoid. Do your research before you choose a class (RateMyProfessors.com) and save yourself headaches and wasted tuition. Few things suck more than spending 50 grand or more and 4 years of your life to find out you didn't learn anything.

Yes, even in high school we are not allowed to use Wiki for ANYTHING!
I'm glad though, I still find Wiki useless, I try to stay with .gov or .net when I do research reports.
And the school's online grading system tests the given source for accuracy.

WELL SAID ~ unfortunately many young people today don't realize that simple fact of life.
I thank the US Navy every day for kicking my a** and getting me trained in a useful field.

Everyone in my family was in the medical field and in the military. My parents don't want me to be in the military but I'm still aiming for being in the medical field.
Having a M.D. sounds real good.
