wikipedia snowball

Like a snowball rolling down a mountain, growing ever larger as it continues toward the bottom, a wikipedia snowball occurs when one researches something on the wikipedia, only to then click link after link into subsequent articles of interest until, suddenly, several hours have passed.
"I'm sorry I'm late, I got caught in a wikipedia snowball. I was looking for information on the new James Bond movie and suddenly four hours had passed. On the bright side, now I know what happens in Marvel Zombies, I can tell you how astronomers gauge the temperature of stars, and why World War I started."

'You're still fired.'

"Fuck."

Wikipedia Law 

When someone believes anything and everything that is within a Wikipedia article pertaining to a certain subject. Commonly done by high school students who paraphrase such articles then receive a bad grade on their paper because the teacher disproved what they stated.
"My teacher gave me a D on my paper because the figure wasn't actually dead yet! It said so on Wikipedia though!"
"Fool, stop holding to Wikipedia Law."
