Me and my boy used to play this wiki game whenever we had to use the computers for research in class. Start on one topic and try to reach someother completely random topic first with only clicking


Sticking to the topic, I get so lost on wikipedia when ever I look up something. I just keep clicking links, reading all the interesting stuff, and clicking onmore links and I'm left with a ton of useless info

New York State Route 32
Josiah Hasbrouck

If you can relate, I could use a launch point cuz I got 2.5 hours to burn in this library while I wait on my lady to get off work. Just give me something good to look up that I would never think about. I just spent 20 minute reading about heterochromic eyes if anyone cares

In my travels of wiki-surfing, I have read the same random article.

 

[suckafree85]

Im always searching on Wiki.. So much information.

 

[rwfanatic]

Damn I've gotta try this when I'm at home one day... I always thought people said to not really trust the stuff on wiki cause majority of it wasfabricated.

 

[daytona 5000]

Makes you realize how much knowledge and info there is out there...

 

[nick0lis]

[freshhh]

wikisurfin ftw

i do this all the time. i know so much useless information.
some of its cool.

for example, i thought ferrari enzo was just the name of a car.
but Enzo Ferrari was the founder of the Ferrari racing team and manufacturer.

there has to be some kind of upside to all this.
maybe ill be on a gameshow.

 

[ac4three]

I do it too.

 

[angeezy]

yah. random article.

 

[agthekid]

I love Wikipedia, it use to get me through long days at work. It was like the only site not banned.

 

[soylentb707]

I can definitely spend hours on Wikipedia. It's a great way to pass time & learn some interesting, sometimes useful information along the way.

Here's the results of my "Random article to Hitler in 7 topics or less" challenge:

Random article: Cyberbykes (DOS PC Game)
1) Personal Computer
2) Planned Obsolescence
3) United Kingdom
4) Nazi Germany
5) Adolf Hitler

 

[jepeh21]

sometimes this is what happens to me when i get really bored at work.

lot of good information though and you waste about 3-4 hours at the office.

 

[danikerhino]

For some reason I love to research (I'm an information fanatic) and Wiki is perfect if you want general info about what your looking into. I hate when Ithink of something to look up and then end up forgetting it when I get home though.
