A Little Bit About Me

Baked is a minor contributor to the English Wikipedia. I have just started contributing to Wikipedia, I do not do it religiously, but when I see a problem or when I see a need for an article to be expanded. I have trivial knowledge on certain topics pertaining to different areas of life.

I enjoy reading comics, especially Peanuts and Dilbert.

I am also a big sports fan. I support the Los Angeles Lakers as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers. My other favorite teams are the Oakland Athletics, the San Jose Sharks and the newly revitalized San Jose Earthquakes.

Current Events

I strongly support people's knowledge of current events. That is why I have supplied the largest headlines (which can also be found on Wikipedia's Main Page), and the picture of the day (which can as well be found on the Main Page).

Picture of the day The sword-billed hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera) is a neotropical species of hummingbird from the Andean regions of South America. Among the largest species of hummingbird, it is characterized by its unusually long beak, being the only bird to have a beak longer than the rest of its body, excluding the tail. It uses this to drink nectar from flowers with long corollas and has coevolved with the plant Passiflora mixta. While most hummingbirds preen using their beaks, the sword-billed hummingbird uses its feet to scratch and preen due to its beak being so long.Photograph credit: Andy Morffew
