The Wikipedia Game

[Maijo]

I don't know if anyone else does this but I'm an addict of that old Wikipedia. The best thing that I find to waste my time is what I call the "Wikipedia Game".

Basically, you pick two completely un-related topics, start from one and see if you can get to the other only by going through the article's links. Also, there's no going back once you move onto a different article. Once the decision is made it's final.

I got from Kittens to Satan in only 6 clicks.

1. Kittens
2. Rat
3. Ratt (the band)
4. KISS
5. Halloween
6. Devils
7. Satan

It's that easy. I'm looking for more of a challenge though.
