      The Wikipedia Game....... For Those Who Are BORED!

      This is a game you only play when so bored at work a toilet break seems like a good way to pass a few minutes.

      Basically you go from one strating point on wikipedia and try to get to another using just wiki's links.

      For Example.

      If i wanted to get from

      Liverpool FC to The M62

      I would start on Liverpool FC, Liverpool, NorthWest, Transport in the NorthWest, M62.

      Simple really, i think....

      Its a time killer.......... 

      So someone try and get from

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK_Computer

      to

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

      So basically, anyone is just supposed to see how you get from the first page to the last page?

      Like I said, checking it would be a pain in the arse, especially if it takes as many steps as racer's example.

      Perhaps a better challenge now would be to try to beat what we did by doing it in less steps / links.
