Why is it so easy to find newspaper articles online in TV drama?
They have this one, simple, clean looking page. They type in what they're looking for and it's go go go. The more ambitious dramas will have them trying two or three search terms to show that they're arduously working on the problem by battering a keyboard on this excellent search engine which always give them what they're looking for. Some even go so far as to produce three or four links conveniently under each other which indicate a 'pattern' or whatever.
Anyway. My point is - I do not have that search engine. I have google - Which I've always loved. But it's let me down tonight.
Will I have to go to the library and look through microfische screen caps (no idea how to actually spell that, but I'm sure it's the term) of old newspapers? And it was only a year ago!
June 5th 2007 a 68 year old woman in Scotland developed the bubonic plague which turned to pneumonic. I want to know where etc but I cannot find a thing about it. Except on wiki, which is where I found it in the first place.
The conclusion I'm slowly coming to is that wiki is lying to me - as is very possible being a mass-edited enclyclopedia. This makes me sad. I don't think it's lied to me before.
I don't think I'll ever be able to trust the internets ever again...
In other news, I watched Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog last night - Bravo Whedon! Once again you make me giddy, sad, involved, intrigued and left with the need to sing every song loudly and out of tune. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you do at once. That's a man who put his downtime during the WGA strike to good use. It's still free online so there's really no excuse. Unless you have a suck connection. Then I recommend download.
