The Wikipedia Game...

Okay so it goes like this. I shall start by deciding upon a subject, I have chosen:

Satan

Now the next person to post in this topic has to go to wikipedia, and click on 'Random Article'. Now from there, clicking only the links in the text, one has to navigate from the random article to the article about Satan.

Once you have done this post the series of articles you went through to get there like this:

Blah > blah > blah > Satan

Having done that decide a topic for the next person to navigate to from a random article.

Got it? Okay then. Go find Satan!

This would seem like a lot of work and I don't think many people want to do it. At least I am not ready to do this.

So this is a bit like seven degrees of Kevin Bacon...

This may or may not help.

What a damn pain in the ass that was...

Giacomo_Manz๠> Italian_Fascism > Nazi_Germany > Adolf_Hitler > Roman_Catholic_Church > Heaven#In_Roman_Catholicism > Sin > Adam_and_Eve > Satan

To make it more annoying for the next guy, the word is:

Antidisestablishmentarianism

The above can be made much shorter by (sorry couldn't help but try): Giacomo_Manz༠-> Italian Fascism -> Nazism -> Antisemitism -> Christianity and Judaism -> Satan

As for my own:

skiptvet -> dragon -> speech -> word -> longest word in english -> antidisestablishmentarianism

That was hard. Took a long time to find a path this short.

The next guy can try to get to Skiptvet.

By the way: I would propose that we always make the start of the previous one the destination for the next. That way we will build a long uninterrupted wikiwalk. Maybe we should also let the last answerer hit the random button to get the sarting point for the next assignment, that way each challenge will be equal for all.

Ã…Å¡wierznica, Pomeranian Voivodeship! ...the fuck is that?!

Anyhoo:

Ã…Å¡wierznica, Pomeranian Voivodeship >
Village >

Evolution >
Creationism >
Atheism >
List of secularist organizations >
Rational Response Squad >
Ray Comfort >

Crocoduck >

Yes, I know several of those steps could have been avoided but that was the path I took, not the optimal path. And there was no link (that I saw) to crocoduck on RRS, Ray Comfort, or Way of the Master. There really should be, dammit.

Edit: For continuity's sake, ignore mine and do Peacock's.
