Can't...stop...reading
 
Wikipedia is such a timewaster, not that it's really a waste of time but it's just so difficult to stop reading once you start.
For example, I started reading this page about an hour ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP and before I knew it I'd read about 20 other pages...did you know Yahoo is powered by PHP? I didn't before but I do now. :D

I do love Wikipedia, except as you say, it does waste a lot of time... because it is so slow. Its all on donated hardware and bandwidth, so speed, performance, and uptime aren't brilliant.

I wouldn't mind some small unintrusive ads if it meant it was fast and uptime was good.
