One thing I love doing is reading random articles on Wikipedia. So I decided, why not start a game were someone goes to wikipedia and clicks the "random article" button and post what article loaded.

Ugh, the more I type, the more stupid this game sounds. Oh well.

So, all you have to do is go to the home page of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) and click the random article link in the navigation part. Or, if you're unable to find it, simply press Alt+Shift+x when at the home page.

Oh, and if you could include the link to the article you found. :D

Here's what I found:

Battle of the Duisburg Convoy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Duisburg_Convoy)

Very interesting. :)

This is a good idea. I got http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C4%93fui.

Tēfui are the unique garlands of the Pacific Island, Rotuma. They are made by tying multiple "fui" ("täntäne" leaves (polyscias) and sweet-smelling flowers in the shape of a star), with modern adaptations using wool or ribbon.

I did it again and got: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traverse_%28gunnery%29.


Traverse (gunnery)

Traverse refers to the horizontal field of fire of a cannon or other artillery piece and, by extension, the act of turning it within that angle.

Green Eggs and Ham is a best-selling and critically acclaimed book by Dr. Seuss, first published in 1960. As of 2001, according to Publishers Weekly, it was the fourth-bestselling children's book of all time [1]. It was also released in the Living Books series.

I used to love this one when I was a kid!
