Wikipedia Safari
This game is for the bored or easily entertained (like me). Just think up a random article on Wikipedia (type it in to make sure it exists) and then press the random article button on the left hand side. Using only the links within the articles, try to find your way to the article you thought of.

Just depends on what your goal article is. A good way to mix it up is to choose a goal article at random.

I've been thinking of a way to up the ante. Try to reach your goal using just specific,people,brands(say mcdonalds), events, or institutions and not any geographic locations or umbrella terms(germany, existensialism,fairy tales etc.)
