Going on to Wikipedia to look something up, then unexpectedly being sucked into a seemingly endless series of link clicking to end up in a completely different part of wikipedia than you ever meant to go to.
I just went to Wikipedia a high school in Bangladesh, and I ended up on an article about Cottage Cheese.
Dang, looks like you fell into a Wikipedia Hole.

When the bulk of one's knowledge in a particular subject has been obtained from Wikipedia.
Joe: I hear Frank split the atom in his basement!
George: Yeah, he's got his Wikipedia degree in Nuclear Physics.
A fun little game to play, where two or more people set a starting page and an ending page, both of which are titles of articles on Wikipedia. Then, using only the links within the text of the article, the goal is to find a way to the ending page before your competitor(s).
A sample Wikipedia race:
Start: Roger Federer
End: Internet
One way is: Roger Federer, to Switzerland, to Europe, to North America, to United States, to Culture of the United States, to Internet!

The act of being on Wikipedia.
Nowadays, any loser can be wikipedia-known for bizarre endeavors such as coconut palm climbing and having a porn video on the internet

Like a snowball rolling down a mountain, growing ever larger as it continues toward the bottom, a wikipedia snowball occurs when one researches something on the wikipedia, only to then click link after link into subsequent articles of interest until, suddenly, several hours have passed.
Jim: "I'm sorry I'm late, I got caught in a wikipedia snowball. I was looking for information on the new James Bond movie and suddenly four hours had passed. On the bright side, now I know what happens in Marvel Zombies, I can tell you how astronomers gauge the temperature of stars, and why World War I started."
Jim's Boss: "You're still fired."
Jim: "Fuck."

An hours-long plumbing of the depths of Wikipedia. One interesting article links to another and before you know it you've wasted the whole day. Often facilitated by mild stimulants, such as caffeine.
I just wanted to know the difference between bourbon and whiskey. The next thing I knew, my browser had dozens of tabs open on topics including Aegeus the goat-man, the 1932 Summer Olympics, and a list of the tallest structures in Norway. I was on a wikipedia bender.
