p2pnet news | Cool Stuff:- The clip on the right (couldn’t resist ) is from a Wikicommons pic of Wikiepedia founder James ‘Jimbo’ Wales cavorting with a crew of comely maidens.

It’s entitled, ‘Jimbo goes swimming’.

“We were right,” says Valleywag, featuring the image and going on >>>

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales really did skip off to Richard Branson’s Caribbean getaway in early March, even as a scandal unfolded over his governance of the world’s most comprehensive list of gay animals. The powwow on Necker Island, which included Google’s Larry Page, Tesla Motors chairman Elon Musk, former British prime minister Tony Blair, and VC Vinod Khosla, discussed global warming. Branson asked: “Is the world on fire?”

It may well be. Aflame, too, are the sentiments of Wikipedia’s volunteers, many of whom are already enraged by Wales’s jetsetting ways. For Wales, the gathering had an added attraction: After lunch, Branson took a party by catamaran to Mosquito, where women in bikini [sic] danced on the beach. “Normally the girls would be naked, but the prime minister is here,” said Branson.

Stay tuned.
