If there isn't a band called Boston Molasses Disaster, there needs to be one.

Otherwise, I tend to just look up a car/truck/tank/train/plane/ship/firearm that interests me and follow links within until the hours have passed. Some good starting points:

B-1 Lancer
Synchronization gear
Jack-up oil rig
Railway loading gauge
Browning Automatic Rifle

Anything, even a link to cartridge calibre, can lead on for hours and hours.

Most of my obsessions aren't really well catered for on Wiki (largely obscure plant stuff that warrants two lines at best). Here are a few things I've found, that are strange enough, that you may or may not like.

Fairfield Industrial Dog Object
St Guinefort
Glochids
Pereskia
Hachiko

Not quite Wikipaedo, but West Mids police just posted this photo from their archives of a street gang called The Peaky Blinders.

That's the problem with child prodigies, when they grow up they aren't necessarily that brilliant, they just get there a bit quicker...
