I casually clicked on an article on how they laid fibre optic cables across the ocean floor ... before I knew it is was 3 in the morning and I was an expert on the construction of fibre optic repeaters...
Damn you Wikipedia, cursed whirlpool of my time.
Post your random wikipedia adventures.

When I was at school, I'd usually have done all of my work before the start of lunch so that was a good few hours of time to waste until I could go home. So it was Wikipedia or re-re-re-re-re-reading my textbook for the 14th time... So I spent hours and hours just looking up everything I could think of that I wanted to know more... So. Much. Semi-Useful. Knowledge. Wan Shi Tong ain't got nothing on Wikipedia. o.O
