Wikipedia Limbo

The state of continually following links from page to page on Wikipedia researching topics that grow progressively distant from the original page.

I started out looking for info on wombats and got stuck in wikipedia limbo. Six hours later I was reading about ancient Rome.

Wikipedia

A internet website which allows most people to write what they know about a certain subject to help save people in schools and colleges around the world, whether the subject is about Hittler or its about how long it takes toe nails to grow from the bottom to the top (twice as long as your finger nails and its 2 months). Wikipedia is just like the urban dictionary but there can be a page about almost anything with pictures and links. Oh and best of all, all of this infomation is free (:

Wikipedia (What I Know Is) pedia

......thats what "Wiki" stands for

"Mr. Smith, i was looking all over the internet to do this homework but i couldnt find one website that had who is the lead singer in Metro Station."

"Little Timmy son, you didnt look on Wikipedia did you? Now run along so i can eat my apple"

Wikipedia-Spree

A Wikipedia-Spree is an extend period of time in which an individual constantly reads Wikipedia pages, jumping from one page to the next, motivated by curiosity. Usually the individual has no intentions of reading any of the Wikipedia pages they do read. The individual often looses track of time, only to find himself much more knowledge-full about useless knowledge.

"I totally didn't get my assignment done last night, I ended up going on a huge Wikipedia-spree for hours. On a brighter note I now know that the oldest hotel in the world was established in the year 718."

The Wikipedia Game

A game that is played on the website Wikipedia.org. In this game, two or more people go from one Wikipedia page to the other by clicking on the blue highlighted words. The starting and finishing pages are determined by either clicking on the random page option or simply by choosing pages in advance. The winner is determined either by who gets to the finishing page in the shortest amount of time, or by who gets there with the fewest clicks. If one computer is faster or slower than the other, it is more reasonable to decide the winner by number of clicks. You cannot use search or the toolbox list of links. You can only go back if the page hasnt fully loaded or if it is a dead end. It is a good game to play when you are supposed to be working.

Jeff got from Willy Wonka to Optimus prime in only seven clicks! Now that is impressive!

By the time Phil got to Giraffe, Katie was stuck on Norwegian Desserts. She sucks at the Wikipedia Game.

Wikipedia Theory

The theory that all Wikipedia pages are somehow connected to others by links, and that you can get from one to another just by clicking links on each one.

I used the Wikipedia Theory to click my way from the article about unicorns to the one about the Apple iPad.
