    What's the most random thing on Wikipedia you ever looked up?

    I think mine would be: Rubber Bands.

    I look up random stuff almost every day.

    I used to kill time by playing a game called "seven clicks to Jesus". The object is to click the "random article" button and get to the Jesus Wikipedia page in seven link clicks or less.

    So what's the deal?

    Is there like one rubber band company? Or are there like two or three in bitter competition? And is rubber band a registered trademark? Am I going to owe them like $23 for saying rubber band so many times in this post?

    I thought "gum bands" was strictly a western Pennsylvania term...
