I got this from a coworker, who found it on some other forum somewhere.

How to play:
Go to Wikipedia and click on the random article link. The goal is to find your way to the Adolf Hitler page by clicking on links in the article.

Normal Mode: Click on any links. Limit of five clicks.

Hard Mode: Clicking on dates and/or place names is not allowed. Limit of four clicks.

General notes: The back button counts as a click. This isn't simply about finding the quickest route, but figuring it out as you go.

Example route:
Restrepia_falkenbergii
Orchid
Singapore_Botanic_Gardens
Japanese_Occupation_of_Singapore
World_War_II
Adolf_Hitler

Have fun pretending to work.

Edit: Blame any spelling errors on the guy I copied this from.

This thread is about Wikipedia, fame, and online cross-referencing. It's not about politics unless you make it about politics. And I don't recommend doing that.

First, it was a joke.
Second a topic doesn't have to be about politics to get locked - it could just contain the names of politicians (See: http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=26037.0)

That thread seems to have been locked for man-nipple. Which makes one wonder why every thread you post in isn't.
