On this day in 2001 Wikipedia was made! The Internet would be a very different place without this encyclopaedia, and it's free for everyone, forever. What's your favourite article?

The following really happened in 1996 😂
He: "There's this THING called internet. You can share any information you like on a WEB PAGE! And it's all free!"
Me: "Oh. Well, but companies will use it too."
He: "No, impossible, it's not commercial."
Me: "I won't hold my breath. But what would be cool is an online encyclopaedia where you could find all sorts of information."
He: "No, that's impossible because a web page can't contain that much and internet is limited space."
Me: "Oh."
