This is oh too true. I started at the coin article once and ended on the vagina article, all without any typing.

What ends up happening to me is that I start on one article, then find something interesting and open a new window to read it, then find two more interesting things and make new windows... When I'm finally tired of reading, there are about 30 open windows in my taskbar. :lol:
