"If it's not here, it doesn't exist," claims the tagline at this site. You can imagine my surprise, then, when I found that the "KnowledgeBase" at the core of this compendium lists exactly 15 entries. I had previously assumed that the sum total of everything known to man would require a much more elaborate index.

The site is an attempt to explain everything in the world, in non-technical and accessible language. This is done mainly by omitting the confusing stuff and making things up on-the-fly. Here's an excerpt from the entry on Jane Austen:

"Jane Millington Austen was born in a public house in Winchester, in 1775. Her father was the Rev. Steven Austen; her mother, Margaret Trapster, worked in a cigarette-stuffing factory. Despite their poor situation and strict Christian background, the Austens obviously went at it hammer and tongs, for they had seven further children in as many years."
