Growing up I always wished that the guide was a real thing and now it is.
Just wish there was a way to download the entire wikipeda and run it on an iPod touch.
Got an old one knocking about and mobil wikipedia without the need for an net connection would be ace.
[edit] You can download the entire wikipedia!
I feel a summer iOS project coming on. There's no inbuilt text to speech API in cocoa touch but apparently there's one that can be ported. Might finally get something useful out of that iOS developing thing I signed up to.

Will bung that on the iPad tonight. Shame it needs a net connection though.
Kinda like the idea of having the sum of all human knowledge on a portable device in
case of the zombie apocalypse etc.

Founded by DNA himself.
Clicky
The beeb funded it after he died and still are (looking at the website), although I'm surprised; I thought I read somewhere that they were going to drop it to save money (although it can't cost 'em much!).
In many ways it was a predecessor to Wikipedia- anyone could become a 'reporter' & submit entries.
It didn't take of as much as it could and last time I checked it varied wildly between dull articles on the mechanics of differentials and hilarious ones on driving technique.
