A Man After My Own Heart
This is my new favorite Wikipedia entry. Be sure to read it before the drones make it more true.

Firstly, I would like to point out that I am very happy to have found this wikipedia article and find you to be entitled to much congratulation.
Nextly, on my first encounter with "A Man After My Own Heart", I read your imperative about the drones making it more true, and took it to mean that there were agents of some sort acting outside of the article in a way that would change reality, making it more properly aligned with the wikipedia article. It was not until I reviewed your weblog entry, several hours later, that it occurred to me that you were likely talking about people who would modify the article. I may be able to attribute part of my initial misunderstanding to the fact that some kinds of bees are drones, while most of the browsers who frequent wikipedia.org are probably actually not. I hope all of this doesn't make me some kind of a freakish loser.
Yeah, I noticed that I used "drone" to mean something non-beeish in a beeish context.
I think that's because I've been thinking about bees a lot lately.
Isn't it funny how we use "drone" to mean a mindless worker in a non-beeish context, and a lazy non-contributor in a beeish context?
