  • What's the best thing you've ever stumbled upon on Wikipedia?

  • One of my favorites was buried deep in the Rice Krispies entry,

  • better known as Rice Bubbles in Australia and New Zealand, according to Wikipedia.

  • I digress.

  • About four or five scrolls deep, right near the end of the entry,

  • there's a subheading which reads, Snap, Crackle, and Pop Sound.

  • It states that the cereal is marketed on the basis of the noises it produces when milk is added to the bowl.

  • The onomatopoeic noises differ by country and language.

  • And at this point, I was like, go on.

  • Turns out in Danish, it's piff, puff, puff.

  • In Swedish, it's piff, paff, puff.

  • In German, it's nisper, nasper, nusper, kkk.

  • Weird.

  • Spanish, pim, pam, pum.

  • Finnish, ricks, racks, pocks.

  • French, crick, crack, crock.

  • I love Wikipedia.

  • Most of us do.

  • But the Trump administration... doesn't, and they're threatening the free encyclopedia.

  • How come?
