Wiki-trance 

A hypnotic state, characterized by aimless clicking through Wikipedia for hours on end. May cause loss-of-sleep
Last night around 10:00 pm I was looking up The Critic TV show on Wikipedia. Before I knew it, it was 12:15 am and I knew a little more about Walt Disney, the Epcott Centre and Scooby Doo. Where did those two hours go? They were lost in a Wiki-trance!
