Anyone who has known me for any period of time knows that I have an intense love/hate relationship with Wikipedia. We all know that it is unreliable, yet it is used in our office a great number of times to end disputes, confirm assumptions and generally provide useless information. Greg further confirmed the site's inadequacy by making one posting a bit more interesting...For those of you who click on this after the "wiki police" or whoever else monitors the listings removes the information, this is a line that can be found on the Wikipedia search "List of Breakdance Moves"
At that time Canadian Gregory Burbidge broke records for Air Flare, Headspins, and Elbow Airflares. American Lauren Jacob held the record for Chair Flares. American Laura Derrick held the record for Tappingmills. Nicole Jones (nationality unknown) held the record for Munch Airflares. In 2004 Guinness removed these titles from their records. At the time Gregory Burbidge was the only one who still held records from the original group.

For those of you who don' t know, these are the names of the folks that bring you Atlanta PlanIt, not the names of breakdance stars - although I am quite sure that Lauren dreams about it sometimes.
I look forward to tracking how long it takes before the information is taken down. Posting our names on Wikipedia will take the place of the staff's old favorite game, Photoshop Wars - pictured here for your enjoyment.

Although my love for Wikipedia does run deep, no amount of creative "editing" could be more amusing than photoshopping Greg's head on to Spiderman. Photoshop wars will always be #1 in my heart.
It is for this reason and this reason alone that I wish the Wren's Nest had more than two computer literate people in the office at any given time.
As someone who just made his first Wikipedia edit, your edits are inspiring and bold. Keep up the good work!
Go Greg! Go Airflares!
