      <![CDATA[<p>Whenever I hear about what a great community-edited, user-contributed site Wikipedia is, I think about the unsung site that's just as much of a success: <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/">Urban Dictionary</a>. Where else can you find definitions for <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=meh&amp;defid=1349350">meh</a> and <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cool+beans">cool beans</a> and thousands of obscure sexual practices of varying degrees of debauchery?</p>

<p>I guess because there's a lot of vulgarities and obscenities, and because it's a commercial site, it doesn't get a lot of press. And the way that people writing definitions adopt a faux-erudite tone when writing them is a little bit annoying. But damn if Urban Dictionary isn't entertaining, and it meets a need just as neatly as Wikipedia does.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I was wondering what some of the more mature members here do about dating.  It seems much harder for <a>older singles</a> to find a mate, so I might be turning to online dating for older singles. <br />
any suggestions? thanks.</p>]]>
