But then it just spiraled out of control...

One of the best forum signatures I've ever seen was a hyperlink labeled 'do not click.'

Yeah, it was the random page button for tvtropes.

I spend hours reading TV Tropes on the job. But that's because I don't want to get my work done, so I look for ways to procrastinate. Which is hard because I have to use a php proxy to bypass my workplace's firewall.

Luckily the automatic whatever censor thingy doesn't know TV Tropes.

TvTropes is pretty bad for time-wastery.
Wikipedia's random article button is pretty evil as well.

If you like reading about Backwaterville (pop 97). :P
Seriously, the vast majority of clicks give me a stub article about some tiny village somewhere. It seems to me that so many people want to have their hometown represented on the wiki as to have made the random article function almost useless (not that there was much point to it to begin with, mind you).
