Damn you Wikipedia, cursed whirlpool of my time.

Mostly the histories of companies and manufacturers lol! But the longest adventure I've ever had was when I was researching nearby abandoned mines and towns for a hiking trip some friends and I were planning. (We successful, we found ruins of old towns, open mineshafts, old mill ruins)
