The problem with internet

[goldengreen]

It's worrying that I noticed wikipedia was down while I was writing my assignments for class today. I hadn't realised how much I used non-medical textbooks for work. I also tried to use it today on the wards to look up what a 'John Thomas' was.

... I found out by other means.

(ooc: "John Thomas" is old (like, I've never used it) British slang for penis. So if an old guy says he needs to use his 'John Thomas' he needs to... yeah. Wet wipes were probably needed here.)

Might I suggest urbanDICtionary?

(ooc: My aunt named my cousin John Thomas. She still doesn't get why I laughed)

I should have tried that, I .... Was that capitalisation necessary?

[imbluedabade]

Absolutely.

There is quite a large medical section in the library at home if you wish to peruse the tomes. If there is something you need and cannot find, I can procure it for you.

Ah. Thank you, Tezuka. Normally when I use the web, I'm just checking something quickly which is convenient but... flawed.

Oishi-sama, are you sure it's wise to use Wikipedia for your assignments?

For basic definitions it is usually accurate. Far too many people check it for jokes to remain. I wouldn't use to to check the proper method for a heart bypass, but to check a definition...
