Stephen Colbert, on his Colbert Report, made a rather interesting suggestion to his audience… albeit a suggestion that came right out of the side of his mouth. He suggested that Wikipedia allowed us to define reality “by concensus.” If you watch The Colbert Report at all, you’ll know just how funny this is.

Well, they did. And they blew Wikipedia’s servers.
Here’s the story on it.
