We occasionally create some special pages that may not fit into our standard Q&A format:
August 24, 2008: The 2008 Olympics concluded today in Beijing with the United States surpassing China in total medals won, but China dominated for total gold. The results could have been drastically different; had the former Soviet Union not dissolved into 15 separate countries, it would have dominated the overall medal table.
May 25, 2008: At the end of last year, we ran an experiment where we allowed wiseGEEK visitors to comment on articles on the site. The experiment was a great success and we are now receiving thousands and thousands of insightful comments from users like you. You can see our discussions by scrolling to the bottom of any article page or by browsing our list of the most recent wiseGEEK discussion posts. If you have something to add to any discussion, we welcome and appreciate your contributions!
April 23, 2008: We have organized some special collections of articles that are subsets of our regular categories.
February 17, 2008: We just published an article confirming that the US Border Patrol (a division of the Department of Homeland Security) has recruited Border Patrol agents with ads in a hunting magazine. It’s not about hunting, and it’s not about recruiting border agents; this is notable because some people think a hunting magazine is an inappropriate outlet for recruiting for this type of work.
July 19, 2007: The CocaCola Company owns cocacola.com and McDonalds Corp owns mcdonalds.com – we wanted to see if all professional sports teams own the domains for their team names. The results are quite striking, especially the differences in domain ownership between the leagues.
July 16, 2007: We’ve just added a special guide on how to get the most out of an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Jun 6, 2007: With our simple movie review tool, you can compare your personal movie reviews with the movie reviews of some of the most prolific critics. You’ll quickly know who to trust reviews so you can easily find movies you’ll love.
May 8, 2007: Why do gas prices end on 9/10ths of a cent? The extra money earned through this technique is amazing. What if gas prices were quietly raised to 99/100th of a cent?
Apr 27, 2007: If you need to determine the average color in a photograph, simply upload your image into our Average Color tool.
April 26, 2007: our analysis to understand if fruit vendors really put the most beautiful fruits in the foreground.
Apr 23, 2007: If you try to use Digg.com and find that it’s a little slow, try our Digg Firefox browsing extension.
Apr 17, 2007: We’ve just released a list of 30 tips to make your offline life a little easier.
April 7, 2007: Tax season has us thinking about taxes. Aside from the complexity, one of the annoying things about making the payment is that the money accumulates in the general fund and you can’t know exactly where it will be spent. With Personal Tax Appropriation, you’ll be able to allocate specific parts of your budget so you know exactly where your money would have been spent.
Jan. 16, 2007: We love air hockey, but wanted to see how the game would play if played on real ice. Building the table was pretty easy and the results were amazing. We even provide instructions so you can build a tabletop ice hockey game yourself.
