This is amazing. It describes things simply for people who's 1st language isn't english. I like the string theory page. I also like how random is too large of a word so it says "show any page" instead of "random page".

I can't stand reading this. It's like someone is trying to explain something to you while they're jerking off.

I think this is a great idea, and nice for English speakers too. Some of the technical articles on wiki are so filled with jargon that it takes me reading six or seven articles just to understand a relatively simple concept that was either explained badly or was too "insider" for my level of understanding. Something like this would help alleviate that problem.

Simpy put, that is essentially what this is. The language is definitely simplified, and I think it is good for people learning English or for children.

On the plus side, they tell you important fact such as "that the longest known human penis was 13.5 inches (34.3 centimeters) long?"

Now that's what I call a 5$ footlong. *laughter* *applause*

But my e-peen is longer then this.
