Why I love Wikipedia.

After searching for something (admittedly music-related) on the 'net, I came across an article in Wikipedia, then clicked once, then twice and kept going until I came up with: "In addition to being an acronym, the name "ABBA" is also a palindrome. In 1975, ABBA's "SOS" became the first song with a palindromic title recorded by a group with a palindromic name to hit the pop charts." No idea how I get there but I felt a zen-like calm wash over when I did. I spent the rest of the hour reading up on what the former members of ABBA are "up to now".

Perhaps we should play Wikipedia vs. Jeopardy, where you say what you found and then contestant (the rest of us) have to guess what you were originally looking for.

Mine was easy.
