Ask HN:How many of you nerds "read" wikipedia?

It is my understanding that reading the encyclopaedia cover to cover is a long standing tradition in the nerd culture. These days the hardbound 22 volume encyclopaedia has become somewhat obsolete.Wikipedia is the wave of the future.

So how many of you read, I mean actually "read" wikipedia? As in just open the website and just start reading. I have been doing it for quite some time.(I started with superheroes and still reading about them, I knew there was a lot to know but didn't know there was this much. I usually skip things which don't really interest me in the title but even then its a long long read.)
