. . . reading 20 pages of racists on Stormfront arguing about Egyptian haplotypes. It was a train wreck, with them discussing advanced genetics with astonishing levels of detail and still getting it so very, very, very wrong.

(I got there because I was looking for a picture of Iman and Google Image Search took me there. DAMN YOU GOOGLE.)

Edit: Typo in the title. It's 3AM.

Yeah, I never got the whole getting lost in TVtropes thing. I wondered over there once, clicked around a bit, got bored and never went back.

Yeah, Tvtropes never did it for me. It comes across like... I don't know... trying too hard or something.

A man walked in a door! That's the "Walks in a Door" Trope! Now he's doing the "Hanging the Coat" trope!

But I know a lot of people say they find it fascinating as all hell so power to 'em.

Are the never-ending tendrils of knowledge we now sift through on the internet, beneficial lil bits that help - directly or indirectly, progress us towards some goal or are they truly a waste of time?

I wonder if Google, in their continuing quest for the perfectly personalized search engine, has to sift and sort through pages of 'stuff' too?
