wiki bounce

The process of going from Wikipedia page to Wikipedia page by clicking on embedded links, learning about stuff you never cared about before.
I did a wiki bounce from "Fantasy lsland" from the "Love Boat" page, then I clicked on the name of the actor from "Mr. Belvedere", which led me to the page for "Buck Rogers", and that's how I learned that the dude who did the voice for Bugs Bunny was the same guy who played that robot.
