Damned Interesting Wikis

Typically when I hit Wikipedia is when I have something that I need referencing like when I watch a movie for instance and all of a sudden an epiphany of sorts emerge. Sort of like when you drive down a country lane and it reminds you of a particular childhood memory, or when a perfume scent throws you into another era of time. Sort of like Deja Vu but not quite like.

You see a familiar character on film and you wonder what movie he/she was in but that movie was at the tip of of your tongue. I'm little obsessed in a way that I have to find out so that the curiosity in me is satisfied.

Good thing about Wikipedia is that you need not go through a whole volume of the Encyclopaedia of Britannica to cross index on a subject matter or let alone drive to your neighborhood library to look up on how many movies that Sean Penn had acted in.

It's mid week work week, so if you have a lot of time to spare and would like to add a little extra knowledge to your grey matter do check out 50 of the Most Interesting Articles on Wikipedia.
