I just love Wikipedia

Have you ever just looked something up on Wikipedia just because you were curious? And then you've linked yourself across half a library's worth of information and suddenly - BAM! - there it is, the answer to a question you were wondering about six weeks ago? Or six months ago?
I love information, all handy and neat and giftwrapped and available like that.
Y'know, this all reminds me of a tv show, it was a kind of documentary, but differently layed out. Connections, I think I've mentioned this in another thread. It was a british show, hosted by James Burke, where he explained historical events and linked them across history in a web-like (although still very easy to understand) way.
I need to acquire Connections on dvd at some point. I remember laughing my ass off at his dry humor.
Oh I know. I'll go look on Wikipedia for more information! Hahah!
