[wikipedia game]

Clicking on "random article" and going from that article to Jesus by only using the links in the text. You have to do it in 6 clicks or less, its based off of the Six Degrees of Separation and seriously if you didnt get it then you screwed up cuz its possible from everything. Also when you are taken to something that isnt specific and lists things that are more specific, then picking one of them is not a click. And if you look at the Contents box and click something, it doesnt count.

Guy: "Dude I jus got from Bethesda, Ohio to Jesus in 4 clicks in the wikipedia game!"
Other guy: "...do you want a cookie?"

Wikipedia Rathole

The act of losing between 45-120 minutes while performing click-throughs from the initial Wikipedia page you were interested in.... often leading you to knowledge that has no relationship what-so-ever to your original search.

Man, I was lost 2 hours and missed a meeting because I went down a Wikipedia Rathole. However, I do now know that Richie Sambora is was born in Woodbridge, NJ.

NOTE: Original search was snow fall amounts in the NE.

Wikipedia Game

The inevitable result of trying to do serious research on wikipedia. Consists of clicking on random links in articles until you get as far away from the original topic as possible. The results must then reported to the closest person you know.

I was researching Warren Buffet for business class. Sure enough, I got into a session of the wikipedia game, and 9 pages later, I was on Louis the XIV of France.

Wikipedia Hypnosis

When somebody goes onto Wikipedia to find a specific piece of information and, usually via wikilinks, ends up going off track and going through a bunch of unrelated articles. This can be common among students who have a low attention span or other focus issues.

Person: Hey dude, Imma go onto Wikipedia to find when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Dude: OK, just don't lose track of time.
*20 minutes later*
Person: How am I on an article about racism in Australia?!
Dude: Wikipedia Hypnosis, I presume? You've gotta work on your focus, man.
