Why in the hell would I want a printed copy of a digital media that killed the industry of it's printed predecessor. This sounds like a google style april fools joke like "Gmail Paper" where you could have your gmail printed and shipped to you.

I doubt anyone's in the business of selling Wikipedia entries in hard copy. Just an art exhibition to demonstrate the magnitude of information we have access to in digital media, a fact we often take for granted. It really wasn't too long ago that when we wanted to learn about a subject, the fastest, most convenient method was to visit a library, and look it up on a computer or in the card catalog.
Public schools are still teaching the card catalog, too.
