Daily Mash article: Google aims to capture market for inaccurate crap

QUOTE (Daily Mash)

GOOGLE is to create its own internet encyclopaedia in a bid to corner the growing market for online bollocks. Google plans an entire section on why 'The Da Vinci Code' was only scratching the surface. The search engine giant said that 98% of the internet is now unverifiable shit written by people who have no idea what they are talking about...

While the actual reason for the story may be true, I don't trust a single thing that rag publishes.

That story coming from the same source as this one: government to ban "binge wanking".

What have you got against the Daily Mash, tis a fine piece of journalism. Ok so given the link you've posted perhaps you're FOR binge wanking, but its important to know that you could be breaking the law in some parts of the world eh.

Might be true, but said piece of information has been cross-verified in other rags. Inaccurate crap? Hmmm... Nature thinks not.

If you can't open the link, a report about the article can be found here. Oh, and if you take the 162-132 result too much to heart, I remember I read somewhere that when corrected for article length, you get the same error rate.
