Random Wikipedia for Homepage - BooBooQ88 - 2010-05-27
Came across a neat little Wikipedia trick today in which you enter en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random into the url bar and you'll get a random Wikipedia entry every time.
Of course I almost immediately thought about changing the en to jp to get jp.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random which gives you random Japanese entries.
I now have that address set as my browser's homepage so every time I open my browser or click the home button I am greeted by a random Wikipedia entry in Japanese. Figured it'd be useful for reading practice and you could learn some random stuff at the same time.

Awesome, thanks!
Related: site 'shuffle' for browsers? (Still waiting for something cool like a Greasemonkey script or browser extension for this.)
(Just 'echoing' the links for bookmarking ease.)

Boring! I'm never trying that again
