So, if you click on the first link on almost any wikipedia page, and then do that again on the next one, and so on, eventually you get to "Philosophy".

I did a couple random tests and they all worked out.

I saw a youtube video on this the other day, quite true actually

Airplanes> Powered> Thermodynamics> Physics> Ancient Greek> Greek> Modern Greek> Colloquially> word> linguistics> Scientific> Science > Knowledge > Awareness > Quality > Philosophy

if you follow the first clickable link in every wikipedia page to the next page and so on and so on, you will always end up on the philosophy page

Have you ever played Wiki Ladders?

Open up two browser windows
In each window, open up a random Wikipedia page
Using only the hyperlinks from one page, navigate to the other in as few steps as you can.

Beware, it can become addicting :D

I seem to remember Neil Degrasse Tyson: " After the laws of physics, everything else is opinion." ...or something along these lines...

I think this could make an intersting party/drinking game. You and a partner are giving random articles, and the team that navigates to a common page in the fewest clicks wins. Losers have to drink the difference.
