Hitchhiking down the Information Superhighway

[triadruid]

Christ, I am *such* an information junkie. It's a good thing I don't know anything about memory palaces, because I'd probably set up shop in one of them and just. never. leave.

In related news, Wikipedia is Teh Devil. In quick (or maybe not-so-quick) succession, I've progressed from Honky Tonk Women (song) to Backmasking to Syd Barrett to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament to the Convair B-36 Peacemaker to U.S.S. United States supercarrier to Alfred Graf von Schlieffen to State of Sequoyah to Panama Canal to interrupter gear to Fokker scourge to dive-bombing to Blitzkreig to maneuver warfare to (something) to zoo hypothesis to von Neumann probe to Fermi paradox to giant impact theory to technological singularity to .... *comes up for air* Gods only know what next.

Except I gotta go work.

I am so glad that I'm not the only one who does that.

"...maneuver warfare to (something) to zoo hypothesis..."

So is the "something" too embarassing to mention looking up, or did you truly forget what goes between "maneuver warfare" and "zoo hypothesis"?

I screwed up. I was going through, posting the significant entries that I clicked on (there were more in between the major ones, of course), and accidentally clicked a real link in-page, destroying my Forward history.

Tried to recover it from memory after that, but it was like water through a sieve...I do remember now that there was also a brief foray into Lexx-related entries, somewhere around Fermi Paradox...

Darn, and here I was hoping you'd managed to go somewhere really disgusting/embarassing.

I Love Wikipedia. One Day, People will Be Praying To The Internet God Google, And his Son, Wikipedia.

Seriously. Man Jebus, but there's a lot of information on there.

Heh, The HHGTTG one? I got that one quite a while ago, actually, before they bumped us up to 100 icons...
