I recently discovered a very useful yet time-wasting link. If you have nothing to do or you want to have some random knowledge for the day, try this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
Its the link for the "Random Article" on the left side menu of Wikipedia pages.
Based on my experiment, you will most likely have the following results, based on 100 tries of the said link.
50% will be places
* countries, landmark, towns, islands
* almost anything that you can spot in Google Earth or Wikimapia
2% will be related to porn
* It will either be porn star, porn movie or porn production studios / company
2% will be related to Terrorism
4% will be Royalty related
* queens, kings, prince and princess, dutch and other form of royalty
10% will be about daily terms, language or any other common words.
* Definition of words, usage, etymology
6% will be related to military or any war / armies related articles
* articles about war, battalion names, famous soldiers, generals
10% will get your attention
15% will be articles you would not rather read / look at for even a second
10% will be items that only have a subject / article name but no actual discussion / description of the subject.
5% will be items that you can consider as important
* articles that you will consider to share to others as Trivia.
4% will be about Animals.
* scientific names, weird animal parts
4% will be about religion
1% will be articles you have already read before
100% effective way to waste your time, and learn a little something something on the side.
