Wikepedia and Reddit are both shutting their servers down on January 18th as a blackout to increase awareness against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect Internet Protocol Address (PIPA).
Y'know what this means, right? We have to download the internets.
In all seriousness, though, since their websites are going to be down on the 18th, I highly recommend that you do NOT procrastinate on your work/research and get the information today.
