More data may not make all happy, but it sure is good to know about demographics, dinosaur info, epedimeological stuff and so on. Your wikipedia and feathered dinosaurs entry is a part of that happiness quotient. Knowing the librivox guy is pretty cool, but knowing the feathered dinosaur guy well that gives me cred with the kids!
