Yeah, one tends to be horribly inaccurate, and the other is either somewhat inaccurate to horribly inaccurate depending on how many wiki-fuckers are out playing.
You're still wrong either way.

Best line ever.
The fact of the matter is that you were proven wrong, and instead of saying "whoops, yeah, I was wrong," you said "hahahahahahahaha you used a source that may or may not be accurate which is still better than me not even looking it up myself to see whether or not you're right, but through my not knowing this information I'll just attack you for being wrong because I don't know that you're actually right." Also, you don't quite have a firm grasp on how wikipedia actually works.
How exactly does wikipedia work? As far as I know there are human moderators, and a few automatic check/cache systems integrated along with it. User's edit, user's discuss edits, user's edit other edits because the edits are what they deem wrong. Moderators delete complete bullshit when they notice it, and the cache system is a final use in the case a major article is laid waste upon. I must be completely wrong here, though. And you, as always, are the most knowledgeable source on the world.
And I was not proven wrong because Carrion does not, anywhere in it's fucking meaning, have the words "Not for human consumption", with the exception of one jackass lexicographer who decided to add it on his own accord. That guy's a cocksucker, and a douche, and he's probably the same jackass who added Google to the fucking dictionary.
You really need to stop using your own ignorance as a springboard for insulting people. A word has a meaning that you don't know and you attack somebody because of it. Wow, great logic there. FUCK YOU I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WORD COULD MEAN THAT YOU'RE WRONG.
Here's the Oxford English Dictionary, by the way:
2. a. Dead putrefying flesh of man or beast; flesh unfit for food, from putrefaction or inherently.
And if you look up the word on wikipedia, it provides you an example of the word being used in this context in Robinson Crusoe. Awesome.
Look, I have no problem with you grandstanding and trying to make some random new person look like an ass, but at least do it with things that are true. Otherwise it'll just come back to donkeypunch you in your carrion ass.
