To click on one link and to be brought to that page, only to find another interesting link on that page and end up clicking on that. This is a common thing that happens on sites like wikipedia and imdb.
Todd got on a link tangent on wikipedia by starting to read about the Spotted Owl and ended up reading about Jackie Chan.
