Damn you, Wikipedia! *shakes fist*
Wikipedia is simultaneously awesome, useful and a massive time waster. An example of how it ate up an hour of my time today:
Couldn’t remember the word “pre-emptive” so I Wikipedia’d “Attack on Pearl Harbour” which gave me the word I was trying to remember in the very first sentence.
Nice work Wikipedia.
However, that got me linking to “Pre-emptive attack”, then “International Law” then “Interpol” then “International Police” (because they’re two different organisations, apparently), then “Universal Postal Union”, “International Telecommunication Union”, “Norfolk Island”, “Zealandia” (which is a submerged continent I’d never heard of before), “Geneva”, “Islands of Australia” and then after that I started clicking the ‘Random Article’ link a few times.
Gah!
Worse than Facebook!
