I look up a lot of music related stuff.

Number 9 Dream · 02-09-2008, 01:13 AM

All sorts of stuff!

Mostly stuff for school, but I've also checked the meanings of words I don't understand, the history of certain towns (my town was on there too), different bands, etc.

Dean Winchester · 02-09-2008, 01:34 AM

anything really. Maybe if I'm watching a movie, I might type in some of the actors, or if I'm listening to music, I might type in the artist

Janice · 02-09-2008, 03:14 AM

Everything and anything. With Wiki, imdb and RottenTomatoes.com, everyone's a genius! lol. I just love this day and age, with all this information at our fingertips. I used to go to the library for reference books, up until 1996. Now it's just so easy.

EmoJoe · 02-09-2008, 02:31 PM

i really like reading Wikipedia articles for TV shows. there's probably a lot of stuff in there that isn't true, but i like reading little the tidbits of information in them (some of it is cited so it's proved to be true) that i didn't know about previously.

dawsongirl · 02-09-2008, 11:43 PM

I also once looked up Kool-Aid. I wanted to see when it first came out. Actually, I've looked up a lot of stuff to find out how long it's been around.
