Gotta love wikipedia. Someone's updated this really nicely in the last few years. They always get a few bucks from me when they appeal.
Jimmy Wales is up there with Berners-lee, in my estimation.

QuoteThe Meyers Manx dune buggy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_buggy) is a small recreationally-oriented automobile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile), designed initially for desert racing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_racing) by Californian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California) engineer, artist, boat builder and surfer Bruce F. Meyers. It was produced by his Fountain Valley, California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_Valley,_California) company, B. F. Meyers & Co. from 1964 to 1971, in the form of car kits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_car) applied to shortened chassis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chassis) of Volkswagen Beetles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyers_Manx#cite_note-DBH-1):120 [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyers_Manx#cite_note-MMH-2) The car line dominated dune racing in its time, breaking records immediately, and was eventually also released in street-oriented models, until the company's demise due to tax problems after Meyers's departure.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyers_Manx#cite_note-DBH-1):118–123 New vehicles inspired by the original Manx buggy have been produced by Meyers's re-founded operation, Meyers Manx, Inc., since 2000.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meyers_Manx#cite_note-MMH-2) The name and cat logo of the brand derives from the Manx cat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_(cat)), by virtue of the tailless breed's and the shortened vehicle's truncated "stubbiness".
Not sure if it is just me or what but I can't see any of that previous post. I thought of trying to edit it but it is a real mess. Maybe trying posting it again.
Yup, I see nothing either.
