Probably the last thing we need here is a new game, but let's do this one for a while. I use Wiki a lot and get a lot of history and facts from Wiki. List what you look up or have looked up.

The last thing I looked up on Wikipedia was information about Anna's Hummingbirds.

Currently we have a male Anna's Hummingbird who is perched inside our palm tree and sings all day; he is absolutely gorgeous and his high-pitched raspy song is adorable.

My daughter reported coming almost face to face with a large bird and we did a wiki search and believed it was some kind of Hawk...this was a couple times.

The Science of Mind and I found each other in the 80's, talk about life changing. Just by chance came upon Dr. Tom Johnson and his "little" center in Canoga Park and boy was I searching...I found a home and then went to so many centers/churches all over California...

I am a history enthusiast, and I love reading and looking up information about the lives of random people connected to the famous or the infamous.

Mary Tudor, the younger sister of Henry VIII

When I think of a favorite flower, Peony comes to mind. I grew up with them in the East and have not seen any in Calif in the 57 yrs here.

The last thing I looked up was info about Windows 11, I got a prompt for a free install. I'm still not sure about installing it though.

I despise Wiki so I won't be participating in this game.

All other players have fun though.

Zoneboy · 02-15-2022, 12:24 PM

This really isn't a game and is probably better suited for the random posts board.

Caroline13 · 02-15-2022, 02:35 PM

Whatever, it's kinda like a Game, but Zone if you want to move it. You are the boss. I am happy we have Wiki sure beats a load of encyclopedias that I grew up with. What's to despise about Wiki, that's a ????

When I first saw the title I thought of that game where you navigate from one Wikipedia article to a totally different one solely through strategically following the right hyperlinks.

I just learned of P J O'Rourke's death and I didn't know too much about him. Wiki filled me in a lot. Says cancer took him....
