Wikipedia Jones Gets an Upgrade

Charles Boyer Jones was pretty much like any other fourth grader. He loved reading Harry Potter, he loved watching The Simpsons, and he loved surfing the Internet.

He really loved surfing the ‘net.

Charles would spend hours on his computer, clicking on a link, absorbing all it could give him, and then clicking on the next link. He’d get RSS newsfeeds from Japan, watch presidential campaign videos on YouTube, and pour over the blogs of the leading conspiracy theorists. But it was his favorite website that earned him his nickname: Wikipedia Jones.

It was not long, then, that Wikipedia absorbed enough knowledge from the ‘Net and decided to go into business for himself.

His first website was simple enough. It had a blue background, with a banner in red block letters, which read:

WIKIPEDIA JONES
PRIVATE DETECTIVE & CYBERCRIMES CONSULTANT

There was a very short bio (he was only nine after all), and an email address.

Wikipedia posted his site, and waited for his first case to come in…

    A good starting point. I may come up with something…
    BTW , have you seen this? It looks like somebody else came up with a “Wikipedia Brown” idea, too.
