I haven't laughed so hard at work in a long time! But
that whole section was very well-researched - it
mentioned things that are in the yet-to-be-distributed
press release (passing Britannica.com on Alexa) and
other things that we have only talked about on the
mailing list (Wikipedia 1.0 and certain quotes by
Jimbo). 

Did Jimbo interview for this, or is the author just a
damn good researcher?
