I appreciate a Wikipedia-based smackdown as much as the next guy, so thank you for this.
However, can we lay off of the use of ‘retarded’? There are certainly better ways to chastise than to use a slur against the mentally handicapped.

Don’t get your hopes up too high. They’re just talking about throwing whey in with the manure in methane digesters. Digesters are pretty cool, but they’re also not too novel.
Incidentally, many state fairs dispose of their butter sculptures in this same manner.

I don’t get why readers feel that they have to comment on the header picture. At least if you read this site as embarrassingly often as I do you’d realize it’s just another of their stock photos.
In other news, this is the post where I chose to object to pedantic commentary unrelated to the article. On another occasion I may choose to be the pedant myself. I think that’s just how the internet works.

Perhaps you misunderstand me: Qwest may see Google in CB (e.g. really close) and decide that they should jump first, lest Google beat them to the punch.
And again, that’s probably not the reason anyway.
