A game played by two or more people, each with his or her own computer at hand. Players agree upon a Wikipedia article as the "target" before the race. On the count of three, all players click the "random article" link on the left side of the page to start each player off at a random starting point. By only clicking links on the articles, each player vies to be the first to get to the "target" page.
Notes:
-Players ARE allowed to use the "back" button on the browser
-Players ARE NOT allowed to use links on the left side bar of Wikipedia (main page, etc.)
-Players ARE NOT allowed to use the "Categories" link at the bottom of the page, but other lists (e.g. Forbes 500 companies, etc) ARE allowed.

Get the Wikipedia Racing mug.A "know-it-all" or "Cliff Clavin". Someone who considers themselves to be an expert on everything. A human storehouse of useless trivia, often of dubious veracity.
"That guy is so wikipedic...full of useless information and he never shuts up!"
"Why did I bring that up in front of so-and-so? I thought I'd never hear the end of it from Mrs. Wikipedic."

Get the Wikipedic mug.A person who is a walking encyclopedia of questionable facts. Someone who is mostly believable, and knows several details of an idea, but misses context or has misplaced context. An intellectual grazer. Typically very attractive, and when wrong they still have their good looks.

King Arthur: What do you mean, an African or a European swallow?
The Bridgekeeper is a Wikipoopoo. Also guys named Jonathan.

Get the Wiki-mance mug.When you search on Wikipedia and then bounce around randomly on the blue highlighted words or phrases that peek your interest.
I looked up my hometown on Wikipedia and got distracted by an interesting subject highlighted on the page and from there went on a Wiki-Ride that ended on the subject of dumpster diving.

Get the Wiki-Ride mug.Me in math: A cube is a 3d square
On Wikipedia: "In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex. The cube is the only regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids and has 12 edges, 6 faces and 8 vertices. The cube is also a square parallelepiped, an equilateral cuboid and a right rhombohedron. It is a regular square prism in three orientations, and a trigonal trapezohedron in four orientations. The cube is dual to the octahedron. It has cubical or octahedral symmetry." -From Wikipedia's article on Cubes
Me: That's wiki-lingo.
