Libya, Yemen, Syria, ongoing Nuclear meltdown fears in Japan, mass protests in UK....

But wait... there's more.

WP's 'In The News' front page announces that Harry Coover has died! Yes.... Harry Coover! Stop what you're doing!

(No, me neither)

Discovered that cyanoacrylates make a decent glue. Also promoted their use as surgical adhesives, thus helped save a few thousand lives.

Seemed to be a nice enough guy.

But, we want to know, did he ever shoot his baby-momma in the chest? Did he ever send a letter mocking the FBI? Does he have an artistically significant collection of child porn drawings?

Even Wikipedia itself fails to give him any sort of significant biography! Just a few paragraphs.

The crucial announcement of Harry Coover's demise seems to have been removed from the front page.

That black cloud of sorrow has again fallen over the world!

If there was ever any doubt that Wikipedia is just another whimper in the Main Scream Media Diversion From Reality Scheme, that doubt has now vanished.
