The Wikipedia Game

Found this on another forum and I just wanted to try it out here, I don't know if its been played here before but I think its pretty fun.

The aim of the game is to get from one object to another in as little steps as possible on wikipedia just by clicking on links. When someone answers one, they make another.

An example would be, get from Lightsaber to breakfast cereal.

Lightsaber>Samuel L. Jackson>American>Country>United Kingdom>England>Geography of the United Kingdom>Agriculture>Wheat>Complete Wheat Bran Flakes>Breakfast Cereal.

K I'll start, get from Guitar to China.

Guitar> pop culture> Giant Panda> China

Easy :)

Heres something random. Try Ball python to candy cane. Haha pretty random eh?

EDIT
I don't even think it's possible :S

Guitar - popular culture - clothing - Clothing industry - China



OK, get from Mother Teresa to ball python.

Edit: Damn, you beat me

Guitar>Ancient India and Central Asia>China

Did I do that right?

If so, then connect "Dairy goat" with "Ball python" :-)

*grin* My Wiki-Fu is strong!

Mother Theresa >Saint>St. Patrick>Snake>Ball Python

Ball Python - Oviparous - Reptiles - Snake - Colubrid - Corn Snake - at the bottom under color morphs: Candy Cane

But I think that doesn't really count because it doesn't like to candy canes...it's link-to-link challenge, right?

In The Big Lebowski, when Smokey gets called foul for stepping over the line while bowling, he says, "Yeah, but I wasn't over. I'm marking it an 8, dude".
