Devoid of Anything Useful

One of my much less enjoyed things (though I do it rather often and that it is rather beneficial) is going to Wikipedia to read up on something that popped up, and finding myself reading all the related articles for the next half to one hour.

Final Theory (by Mark Alpert) -> Da Vinci Code (yes, I did not know anything much about it till now) -> Angels and Demons (this too)

And from A&D, it split into many things
Quibble (Oh great now I know what it is)
Ambigrams (Oh so now I reinforce what I already knew)
Lara Croft (via Illuminati)
All those society thingys
All those controversy thingys

Thanks a whole lot.
