WikiSpree

The act of spending far more time browsing Wikipedia that one otherwise would; usually caused by general interest in one item, only to have spent hours clicking on related links in an urge to know everything.
Johnny was late to class because he went on a WikiSpree about the connection behind Seagram's Distillery and Polydor Records, which caused him to forgo sleep.

"Dude, you look totally exhausted. What'd you get up to last night?
"Well, I went on a WikiSpree to look up Husky dogs, but ended up clicking on every link related to dogs in general!"
