HTBS’s Tim Koch has found something funny on Wikipedia.org – he writes:
We all know how useful Wikipedia can be and (I hope) we all know that its great strength is also its great weakness - anyone can alter postings. At present the entry for Eric Powell reads:
“Erica Powell (6 May 1886 - 17 August 1933) was a Kazakhstani model, games developer and occasional hamster breeder who competed for Kazakhstan in the 1908 Summer Olympics.”
It also tells us his Olympic Medal Record is: Women’s Sex, Bronze, 1908 London.
I had always thought that Powell was an English rower, schoolmaster and artist who competed for Great Britain in the 1908 Summer Olympics where he won a bronze in the eights. I stand corrected.
