Fans of Foxtrot by Bill Amend may remember mention of this free online encyclopedia in today's strip. Its called Wikipedia, and it is way cool!

Wikipedia allows users to edit and update entries. Here's something of interest to get you started:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf_films
I thought this list was very complete, but if I had a film to add, I could.. and you could to!

Other entries I looked at:

--werewolf
--therianthropy
--otherkin

These entries were well written and very complete. Plus, I learned a lot!

I've been using Wikipedia for a long time. I agree: it's great. It is often one of the first places I go looking when I want to get information about something. Even if it doesn't help, it often points me somewhere that does.

Wikipedia=AWESOME.

I use it all the time, that's for sure. Open Source stuff is free, none of that "You need to pay to read this article" stuff you see on Encarta or Britannica or whatever's online databases.

Oooh, ooh, and the Foxtrot strip was awesome. Somebody had edited for a little while the Warthog entry mentioned in the strip to match too. :D
