Wiki Gives Birth
A small but “amusing entry”:http://www.antara.co.id/en/arc/2007/4/23/african-chimp-gives-birth-to-female-baby/ came across my “Google Alert”:http://alerts.google.com for the word “wiki” today:
bq. Bogor, West Java (ANTARA News) – An African chimpanzee gave birth to a female baby at the primate center in the Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI) parl in Cisarua subdistrict, Bogor district, recently, a spokesperson said. *Wiki, the chimpanzee* (20), gave birth to Windi, and Kobi (15) was the father of the newly-born, TSI spokesperson Nur Syamsiah said here Monday.
Congratulations to the new mother!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but with this Wiki actually _predates_ Ward’s use of the term quite significantly.
I guess from now on it’ll be a tad difficult to dispute the “Wiki = monkey business” views
