today’s best Wikipedia find

“Medical anomaly. Anatole France had a brain just two-thirds the normal size, but this had no recorded effect on his life in any way.”

My opinion is that Wikipedia often gets a bum rap. It obviously shouldn’t be a source for serious research, but it’s unmatched as a quick look-up reference on basic biographical facts, and is always the first place I go for that sort of thing.
