I wasted most of a human biology lesson yesterday doing this, and I thought it was pretty fun, so I thought at least one other person in this universe might.

Right, first go to wikipedia. [url]en.wikipedia.org[/url] <-a helpful link.
Now, go to the article about Adolf Hitler (always a good place to start). Now the whole point of the game is to get to another completely unrelated article by clicking the little blue links in the article. You are not allowed to press 'back', type anything in the search box, or leave the site (obviously). You have to get to the article I suggest with the least amount of articles visited in between.

We'll make it so that once you do it, state how many clicks it took to get from article A to article B, and then suggest the next article. Eg. I say go from Hitler to custard, then the next person will say that they got there in X amount of clicks and for the next person to get from custard to plate tectonics. Savvy?

Right, first we'll go from Adolf Hitler to unicycle.

Commence!
Gone, gone from New York City,
where you gonna go with a head that empty?
Gone, gone from New York City,
where you gonna go with a heart that gone?

I did it! *dances* There were five articles between hitler and unicycle. Do I get to pick one now? From...unicycle to curry.

I like this game!

Ach nein, I drop my stroodel.

Ahem...Hitler imitation.

But I went from Adolf, to Vienna Art Institute, to watercolors, to china, to gunpowder.
Gotta a find a woman be good to me,
Who won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea.
