Prosidius Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Anyone else like to browse wikipedia and find something remotely interesting when they're bored? Edited December 21, 2009 by Adamb10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 You could maybe browse the spelling of "they're", and how it differs from "there"...? But yes, and it can lead you on all sorts of informational journeys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted December 21, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 21, 2009 I usually search random stuff like "Jupiter" and then move on from there :p but I do the same with Youtube I watch one video then watch another and before I know it, it's time for bed!

BlackSteyrAug Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I like Wikipedia surfing. Pick 2 totally unrelated topics. Start with one topic and try and get to the other by just clicking links. No cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterceptorX Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'll pick something from the frontpage and start reading till I come across something else interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted December 21, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted December 21, 2009 I'm doing it as well. Usually I start by clicking one of the links featured on the Wikipedia front page, only to end up reading about something entirely unrelated to the first article I had read.

what Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah I'll open one page, then end up opening a dozen tabs on linked articles, then work my way through and repeat. Favourite topics seem to be sciencey stuff (especially physics) and recent history. It's amazing how much there is to know :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 21, 2009 Veteran Share Posted December 21, 2009 I actually read at least 2 or 3 Random articles a day just as part of my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted December 21, 2009 Member Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeah, I do that a lot. Me to. I thought maybe I was the only one but I guess not. I find it fun to think of odd names for towns and see if they really are such places. Amazingly they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
