six degrees of wikipedia

Nathan shared this with a few of us yesterday and I was so enthralled by it that I felt I must share it as well! Pick two random, totally unrelated topics on wikipedia. Then try to navigate from the first topic to the second, hitting as few pages in between as possible. For example, I was able to navigate from "French Revolution" to "orangutan" by clicking on 5 links. Hours of entertainment and who knows what you may learn?!

Yeah, I got that email and it seemed way complicated. Is it worth it to try? I can get it out of my deleted items. By the way I've always wanted to ask, do you really speak French?

Hooray, I'm so excited you all are enjoying! I must admit, I haven't had time to try it myself, just heard it was a lot of fun. I'll give it a try sometime if Jess will (maybe we can have some sort of challenge?!?).
