does anyone else really like reading the biographies of fictional characters on wikipedia? i've mainly been reading horror characters, like freddy krueger, jason voorhies, and pinhead, but i've also read the wrestlers the undertaker, kane, and paul bearer.

it's really cool how what were originally concieved as pointless throwaway characters grtadually built up elaborate backstories over the years.

How did you know exactly what I was doing upon viewing this thread?

Recording all the KOF canon is probably the best thing wikipedia will ever do.

Wikipedia seems like a great platform for a borgesian literary hoax.

Provided you seeded Teh Interwebs At Large with a sufficient number of support articles.

I use Wikipedia to make sense of fighting game plotlines.

Mentioning horror characters reminds me that Wes Craven and Pauly Shore are currently having a celebrity feud. I wonder if Wikipedia will cover any of it.
