Yet another wikipedia request

Spoiler For Please read, a request from omnimaga lurker Ashbad:

Hello there.

20 years ago when I founded wikipedia, I decided to also found omnimaga.  Of course, I was very talented for my age: I programmed both web pages in z80 hex at age -6!

now, I have a request of you, to help fulfill the prophecy of Oedipus the king:

Please donate to me.  I am poor.  I really want to buy a new nice car and all, and if every reader of omnimaga were to donate $1, I would be only about 50 grand short.  Please donate today, and make the road a happier place by helping put a nice new car for me on it.

Thanks.

EDIT: contest to see who can have the best request here :)

try to beat mine in funniness

Give me money for founding a site that teachers don't trust and fails you if you use it as a citation!  And for winning The Game.

(Note that I do mostly trust Wikipedia ;))

nope, i wrote a paper on the dangers of wikipedia. it has been estimated that 1 out of every 9 articles on wikipedia has been vandalized.
