Thanksgiving Wikipedia Stuff to Educate Your Brain

I love the Wikipedia and use it just about every day.

How to access the Wikipedia faster in Firefox/Netscape:

  1. Go to the Wikipedia (such as the English version).
  2. Right-click inside the Search field where you would normally type a search term (on the left sidebar).
  3. From the context menu that appears, click Add a keyword for this search.
  4. Enter the name as Wikipedia and the keyword as wiki
  5. Click OK.

In your browser address bar, you can now type wiki followed by any search term you want (such as wiki Thanksgiving) and it will go right the Wikipedia and search for it.

And speaking of those bowls, every year I say “Well, yes.. I’ll be watching the Salad Bowl and the Toilet Bowl”. Yes I know.. VERY OLD JOKE. But it never ceases to amuse. :D

Have a good Turkey Day, all.

  1. I didn’t realize you could that. That’s a heck of a lot easier than me trying to hack my own bookmark for certain searches.

    Oh, and I already have wiki set to do a wikipedia search. :)
