Something Wiki This Way Comes

This condition (identified and catalogued by me, but suffered by many) is not as common now as it was a few years ago, but as there are still some people (somehow) who are not aware of the site - by some twist of fate - it still recurs. The excellent comic xkcd basically narrows down the process here - but it's the aftereffects I'm concerned with. I don't even want to tell you how long I spent on it one Saturday afternoon - starting with a single DC comics character I was unfamiliar with - but it was all I could do afterwards to stare at a TV and wind myself down with something roughly on the level of Horton Hears a Who. It was bad. Information overload. And this is from someone who's handled three E3s (back when it still happened ::takes off hat in respect::) - not exactly on par with lights and sounds and visuals, but holy ass do you get shit packed in your brain.
I will admit as well that it's not a perfect source by any means - hell, sometimes I've used it purely to get at collections of sources more efficently than scratching through search engine results - and its flaws are noted and 'sploitable. But all the same - it is a cluster of data whose amount borders on the seductive for those just looking to idly browse and enjoy random stuff. Which - as is proven by the fact that the space between that last sentence and this one can be measured in over a half an hour of intervening time because of THE INTARNETZ - I am rather in the business of, if I may be so bold to say.
As sleep is wrapping her slender fingers around my neck and beginning to squeeze, I best bid you all adieu before I pass out right here. Am Dienstag, then!
