Wikipedia Trap 

Failing to accomplish any significant reading on Wikipedia due to following related links, perusing only the intro to each article, and in doing so, straying far from the original topic.
I logged on to Wikipedia and searched credit default swaps. Ten minutes later I was reading about bisexuality in the 1800s. Hate the wikipedia trap.

wikipedia trip 

A vortex of confusion that goes against the laws of time and space. It is the act of going on wikipedia and clicking the links inside articles and mindlessly wandering the realms of mass information to the point that you have forgotten why you wete even looking at wikipedia in the first place.
I looked up "Hotel" on wikipedia and an hour later I was viewing an article about "Kato Kaelin." That is when I asked myself "How the fuck did I get here!?" What a Wikipedia Trip!
