Oops, they did it again!

In my previous post, I was observing how up-to-date Wikipedia is.
It seems that Gregori Perelman and its Fields medal are not an exception: Today, one can read that Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet on August 24th, 2006.

Now, it's for sure: The Eternity truly exists. The only remaining questions are what was the minimum necessary change performed by the Technicians to make astronomes vote against Pluto and why it was important to downgrade Pluto's status.

What d'you say? You haven't read The End of the Eternity? Ouch! I'll tell you what: It's much more entertaining that this stupid little blog :-)

Can Wikipedia predict the future?

More accurately, is Wikipedia written by members of the Eternity?

I ask because History told in real-time is quite unusual and I confess it looks kind of weird. Ever heard of Grigori Perelman? According to his Wikipedia bio, on August 22nd 2006, the guy was awarded a Fields Medal (also known in the mass media as Nobel Prize of Mathematics).

So what? Er... August 22nd, 2006. Today! And no, it's not a typo: Just check the headlines of your favorite news site.

On a totally unrelated yet somewhat historical note, August 22nd 1998 was a rainy Saturday in Belgium. Laïlla Schriewer said Oui (I do) to Serge Wautier. Happy anniversary My Love!
