    That when you lookup a simple topic on wikipedia you spend half an hour reading up on completely unrelated topics? I tried back tracking my last run. i still cant find how i got from Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross[^] to the Intal 80286 Processor[^] Even my browsing history doesn't explain it this time.

      Only half an hour? Are you kidding me? Sometimes I sit down to just have a quick look into an article there and end up three hours later with several dozen open tabs with articles. And sometimes I do it on purpose: Open a bottle of beer, call a random article or browse through the did-you-know-section and see where I will end up. :)

      Hitting the Random Article link, aka surfing for Mensa porn. "Wow, will look at the size of the paragraphs on that one! Come on, baby, feed my mind, you know you want to."

        No link from "sudden collapse" to "underwired bar"? They're slipping!

            It just happened to me now, here in the lounge. Crap, it's 12:30 ... I missed an appointment an hour ago.

                      I'm not sure what the original angle was, but it might have been acute. It could be I'm just being a tad oblique here.

                        Didn't really have an angle other than if you can't dazzle em with brains baffle em with BS. :)
