Why Wikipedia Rocks

My brother was Googling a cousin of mine, Shakeeb Dallal, and came upon this Wikipedia article on my grandfather, who was also called Shakeeb Dallal.

I didn’t know any of these things about him.

It’s just the most amusing feeling in the world when you discover stuff about your own grandfather on the collaborative, anonymous bits and bytes of digital web space.

    Wow .. this wiki system seems to have no boundaries..
    I get more amazed day after day .. information in that site is Invaluable..
    Like I was searching about history of some cosmetic surgeries the other day.. and accidently found a very rich and detailed page about the history of shaving .
    shaving for god sake ..
    Any way it sure deserves the donation I made for …
