    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.

        My work is suffering from it. Even if it per definition is (mostly) workrelated.

          In my humble opinion, that is one of the joys of Wikipedia.

          Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                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. :)

                                    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.
