Even Jimbo Not Safe From "The Chaser"

Wikipedia founder Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales pops up more and more in mainstream media, but perhaps his fame in Australia will reach unprecendented levels after The Chaser boys got him with ten of the best at a media Q&A following a keynote he gave in Sydney last week. Perhaps it was to do with Jimbo's widely publicised goal of giving "every single person on the planet free access to the sum of all human knowledge," but Andrew Hansen was selected to ask a question where he got away ten in a row without waiting for answers (as he is want to do during The Chaser's "Mr Ten Questions")

He posed to Jimmy the following:

First, how are you enjoying Australia?

Second, how do our computers compare to the ones in America?

Third, why does everyone in IT look so nerdy, yet you look like a daytime soap star?

Fourth, Mac or PC - do you really give a shit?

Fifth, there are 1.7 million articles on Wikipedia; how long did it take you to write them all?

Sixth, Craig Reucassel’s a bit unhappy with the photo on his page. Could you upload a better one maybe for him?

Seventh, my dog is getting some scabs under his chin. I don’t know if you can bring him in the number of a local vet?

Eighth, Jessica Rowe and Peter Overton - will it last?

Ninth, cracked pepper?

Tenth, how do you feel about the fact that when I looked you up on Wikipedia this morning I changed your page to say that you were a teenage drug lord from Malaysia?

Jimmy nervously got through four."Not such a nerd as I thought," said Andrew. "I'll add that to your wikipedia page."
