surfing Wikipedia..........

I am doing a quick Blog today.  I've had an interesting week, and am ready to chill for the weekend.

I wanted to share with you a pass-time that I occasionally enjoy.  Surfing Wikipedia.

This is what you do.  Go to the Wikipedia web site:


Select your preferred language, and think of any starting point.  It really doesn't matter what it is, because you will very quickly stray from the initial subject matter.

I will do it now, and surf on the word "Surf" just as a demonstration.

Start - Surf

There you go - I didn't even get the Surf I expected.  I instead opted for the detergent.  I now know that Unilever's biggest competitor is Proctar and Gamble.  OK - I also know that they distribute to various places and I opted to click on New Zealand.

Wow - loads on NZ - I am clicking through to Subtropics

Now Coniferous Trees

Now I'm onto Embryo

I won't bore you.  The thing is you can surf away, and know that you will always get something that interests you.  I have spent hours doing this before and learn a lot from Wiki.

Enjoy.  Tell us where you start and finish.

Have a great weekend.

Rich
