Darwin claims "Man is an ape",
But there's one question he can't escape!
It's "Oh, were you there?"
Since his proof is threadbare,
We'll need monkeys transforming ON TAPE!
—User:Reverend Black Percy

Bored? Nothing to do? Well, there are things you can do to help out around RationalWiki, and maybe even educate yourself a little too:

• Research and write an article about something.
• If you don't have a subject in mind, pick one from the wanted pages, or the "to do" list. This is a list of links that people have created for articles that don't exist yet.
• Visit the RationalWiki:Contents portal for a quick look at the wide variety of high quality RationalWiki articles, all arranged topic-wise for navigational ease.
• Have a look through the articles nominated for deletion or non-mission articles and comment on their talk page or improve them if you can.
• Read a few of our articles (some of them are actually interesting), and improve/expand/correct/copyedit them if you find they need it.
• Update your user page, or build some new userboxes.
• Click here (or the "Random page" button to the left) and see where it takes you.
• Start at a random point on Special:Allpages and read (and improve) as many articles as you can be bothered.

Other ways of reducing boredom:

• go down the pub or the local Saloon
• play some Bingo at your local retirement home
• write an Essay
• visit a Webshite and Debate
• join Conservapedia & argue (it only lasts seconds but it's fun)
• laugh
• put on a (porno?) DVD
• sleep
• make out
• disprove relativity
• build a particle accelerator
• breed (with?) a goat
• read a book
• write a book
• learn to play a musical instrument
• sit staring blankly into space
• get a life!
• create your own wiki
• install Gentoo
• play Tetris (shown to improve rational thinking!)
