Wikipedia for my children

When talking about kids that accidentally stumble upon improper content on the Internet, a colleague at work mentioned that he only lets his children perform searches within Wikipedia. This gave me an idea. How about setting the browser’s homepage such that the browser starts on wikipedia and displays a new article every time it is started? It wasn’t long before I found that this URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random does the trick. I put it into the browser’s configuration and voila, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Before playing games or going to Club Penguin, my children must read the wikipedia page displayed at startup and write a one-paragraph summary on the topic that they have just stumbled upon. Don’t like that one? Just hit the home button!
