notorious for their extensive plumage

2014-07-29 18:34:35.099681+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Daily Dot: I accidentally started a Wikipedia hoax, on how a couple of stoned pranking teenagers changed the history of Amelia Bedelia forever, and why you should never look to Wikipedia as a primary source (and vet the sources it references).

When I spoke to my co-author Evan on the phone the other night, he admitted he shared my guilt. “I guess I do kind of feel bad now that I know it’s been up for so long, and so many people repeated it,” he said. “We were just doing it because it was funny. And it was. It was really fucking funny.”
