Gotta love the Wikipedia. Not only is it easy to find the information you want, but every now and then you stumble across some info you didn't even know you wanted.
For example, while reading up on the Nile river, I came across this tidbit:

You don't say...Want to know more about death metal??
Death metal is usually identified by extreme brutality, intensity and speed. The vocals - death grunts, (guttural roars) or "growls", as they're often called, are rough and often incomprehensible and they usually communicate macabre subject matter. The focus on mortality likely inspired the naming of this genre as "Death" metal.
See, this is the perfect example of what separates Wikipedia from Britannica.
K, back to more 'real' research on Egypt.
ps: while creating this post I accidently shut the computer off about halfway through. How'd I do that you ask? Because the power button is located directly below the 'delete' key on the keyboard. Are you kidding me??? That has got to be about the worst location (except for maybe somewhere near the spacebar). Thank you MediaTech for your truly awful industrial design.
