Horray for answers.com mirroring Wikipedia at the worst possible instant.

Or five seconds. Sometimes vandalisms are reverted so fast, you actually wonder if some people don't do anything else than refreshing recent changes page for any drastic edits...

I've been known to do that for several hours while bored.

I've seen one vandalism in my entire life on Wikipedia.

It was about In Flames, apparently they're a nu-romantic pop band, one of their albums is The Jizzed on Face, and one of their songs is Starfish Connected.

I never got the Starfish Connected joke.

The only one I've seen was one in the article about the Korean DMZ which said "Kim Jong-Il is afraid to get a haircut. This may or may not be true." I was going to fix it but it had been reverted before the edit page loaded.

There's a lot of funny ones at WP

My high school didn't even let us breathe on the computers. I never tried Wikipedia from them, but then again I discovered Wikipedia only a few months before I graduated.

Those Wikipedia mirror things tend to annoy me though. If I want Wikipedia articles, I'll go to the actual Wikipedia, where the articles are more up-to-date, the links work, the search function works, and the article isn't crowded out by definitions and articles from twelve other sites.
