Pfft. And people say wikipedia has problems being factual.

I can't believe that page made no mention of HALO. Bunny hopping is a staple of that community. Last I played (over 2 years ago now... thank god), the whole map was full of hoppers. No one person actually walked or ran, they all hopped.

Wikipedia is really good to find out weird things, like the origin of a lot of the curse words used today. I had a book that also had made mention about a lot of the curse words origins along with everyday ordinary items. Wish I could find that book again, it was really interesting.
Check out the history of toilet paper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_paper , What I found so interesting was this in the timeline.... 1935: Northern Tissue advertises its toilet paper as "splinter-free". Imagine, toilet paper with splinters, OUCH.
