Wikipedia is addicting. Seriously.
After spending the better part of my day shopping with the roommate and cooking, I decided to have a nice, low-key Saturday night with my laptop. It started with getting a little more caught up with “Heroes,” an addicting show in itself (if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend that you do). Coming off my “Heroes” high, I then went on Wikipedia to refresh my memory of past episodes and characters as well as to see if I could get any new insights on the show.
What was supposed to be a quick stop at Wikipedia turned into getting lost in that beautiful website for two hours. Starting Point: “Heroes,” Ending Point: “Kyrill, Prince of Preslav.” Here’s a more detailed account of the Wikipath I took:

Man, Wikipedia is awesome. I mean, look at how much I learned on a Saturday night when classes aren’t even in session. Seriously. Who needs college when I’ve got Wikipedia?
