Wackypedia can be edited by anyone, so you'll inevitably get
nut case rants along with solid information. Jimbo Wales doesn't care
as long as he profits by it.


Actually, the microburst article (as well as most wikipedia entries, IME)
is quite good, as far as it goes. The text is very close to that in the two
references (Pagen, NAS Field Guide) that I mentioned, as are the
explanations.
