Ever read a wiki and think, “Duh, I could have written that.” Well, this post is not for you.  As a matter of fact, if you’ve ever thought that, then go screw yourself.  This post is for people who read a half a wiki and get distracted by pics like this.  If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour… wait, there’s no way that thing is going anywhere.

Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc, are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?
Dr. Emmett Brown: Precisely.
Marty McFly: Whoa, this is heavy.
Dr. Emmett Brown: There’s that word again; “heavy”. Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth’s gravitational pull?
Marty McFly: This is heavy.

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Again But Slower is basically a wiki for people like me…

Wikipedia’s a great resource for learning more about complex or esoteric subjects, but sometimes the dense, insider language can be a bit off-putting. Free mashup tool Again, But Slower compares original Wikipedia entries with their simplified re-writes.

Those rewrites come courtesy of Simple English Wikipedia, a site with over 59,000 Wikipedia articles written for those at early stages of English learning or otherwise needing scaled-down encyclopedic articles. Again, But Slower simply shows those entries and the original Wikipedia entries side by side, allowing you to learn how complex scientific terms and other phrases are being used, and getting a possibly faster-moving read on a subject you need to catch up on.
