Changing History

Today we were looking up the biggest NFL comeback ever on wikipedia. In 1993, the Bills came back from a 35-3 deficit in the second half to win 41-38 in OT. Or so we thought. Upon checking wikipedia, we discovered that the Bills did kick a field goal in OT to take a 41-38 lead, but then the Oilers went back in time to the 4th quarter and and kicked a field goal to leave the game a 41-41 tie. It was true, because wikipedia said so.

But then, with my incredible power, I reached back into time and changed the outcome of the game, back to how it really was to begin with. But I feel special for having edited a wikipedia article.

Now I can go introduce a humorous error in another page and have a clear conscience about it . . .
