8 Best: Non-Wikipedia Pedias

No, this isn't a brilliant technology post but there are some fun Wikis here. The Star Trek wiki makes me think of a particular Reno friend who is certain to enjoy it!

8 Best: Non-Wikipedia Pedias: "


Lostpedia


'The Lost encyclopedia'


Episode synopses, island maps, fan theories, and flash-forward recaps. Nothing on Sleestaks, though — and they were, like, featured creatures, right?




Uncyclopedia


'The content-free encyclopedia'


A parody site inspired by inaccurate but hilarious Wikipedia entries. Jimbo's creation is defined here as a massively multiplayer online editing game played by redundancy experts.




Chickipedia


'The wiki of hot women'


Learn that Scarlett Johansson is known for 'her popularity with up-and-coming celebrity men' ... and going-nowhere Web surfers.




Wookieepedia


'The Star Wars wiki'


Did you know that 'snot vampire' is slang terminology for the Anzati species? Of course not. No one did.




Dickipedia


'A wiki of dicks'


Sample entry: Gerald 'Geraldo' Rivera is a TV journalist, noted egotist, former talk-show host, and a dick.




Dealipedia


'The business deal wiki'


Michael Robertson, founder of MP3.com, started this archive of M&A activities, IPOs, bankruptcies, and scoops on who made money (including him) on the deals.





Congresspedia


'The citizen's encyclopedia on Congress'


Fourteen members of the US House and Senate are currently under investigation. Know of others who should be? Add 'em!




Pedialyte


'Helps kids feel better fast!'


Flavors include grape, cherry, apple, and bubble gum!
