Hypnopedia

It is amazing just how much time one can waste on Wikipedia. It truly is the procrastinator's best friend. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Wikipedia (hell, my degree came from Wikipedia...), but how - after logging on to check the nationality of footballer Nemanja Vidić to settle a dispute between my soccer-ball obsessed family members (he's Serbian, in case you were wondering...) - how then, an hour and a half later did I find myself fully informed about the BALTIC Centre for contemporary art, the civil rights movement in the USA in the 50s and 60s, plot developments from Neighbours (full o' spoilers from Australian users!), the discographies of Reel Big Fish, MGMT and The Dandy Warhols and now the cast list for Six Feet Under? I don't even watch Six Feet Under.

I never have.

What manner of sorcery is this!? I can only assume that the website has somehow wiki-hypnotised me.

Argh!
