Remember the whole six degrees of separation thing? The professors in my first-year program at college were obsessed with theory that a human being is linked to every other human being by a link of no more than six people. It’s also simiilar to the Kevin Bacon game. Well, now there’s six degrees of Wikipedia. Enter in two articles, and see how many links are required to jump from the first article to the second. So far I haven’t seen more than five links between any two articles. My only complaint about the process is the use of broad dates to join articles. For example, the Year 2000 Wikipedia entry has so many entries that it combines many disparate topics. But I still enjoyed exploring.

Here are some examples:
Syracuse to Warren Zevon (3 links)
Lake Ontario to toxoplasmosis (3 links)
Heartburn to Benjamin Franklin (3 links)
Cadbury eggs to Bob Seger (4 links)

Have fun!
