[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-esque "chain of evil" 

When Wikipedia (or other sites, like YouTube) draws you into clicking the next link on and on and on for hours on end. The "chain of evil" both binds you to your computer, and is fashioned by the binding of pages of the website together through the associations and similar meanings of their contents.
I've been stuck in a wikipedia-esque "chain of evil" for hours!

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

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.
