My brother said that sometimes in college he and his buddies would go on Wikipedia and have races to find specific pages from other pages using only the hotlinks and not the keyboards. (No Ctrl-F either)
So this game is very much akin to
image
Get to Batman as fast as possible.

So this game is to find the fastest path from point A to point B, and include the articles you went through in your post.
Optionally, you can find the funniest.
The person with the popular vote or somesuch gets to post the next two things to link.

Get to Plato from Orange

The Fruit or the colour? Make sure that the starting or ending points are specific.
First thing:
Get to Tomato starting from Engineer. GO!

How about a new challenge? Birras? Or unless, Copter400? Or because this is your forum game, Anarchemitis?

You don't even need Ptolemy in there.

Oh wait... For some reason you do... The Latin link on that page goes onto the Tatar alphabet instead...

Hold Your Blue Ninja Ass Right There! There's One Other Cobalt Crusader Who Needs To Take A Dominator-Powered Shot At This Here Conundrum!

Hmmm... I'd Scratch My Ultrachin But I Just Had It Repainted. I Say...

Volga > Wikipedia Main Page > Aphasia

No?

I did give this an honest attempt, i went through Hitler so i could reach the holocaust and neural degradation, but by the time i managed to blow my way into Aphasia i was 4 over Anarchemitis' let alone Ninja's. If i may suggest, while it's very clever to make them very hard, there is a great amount of fun to make them plausible and have people struggle to trim down the click-count on an obvious path. Drags in more players, you see.

Hmm, given Ultrajoe's point, I will not be using the article about that-which-is-still-an-idea-and-shall-not-be-named, but instead you get the fun juxtaposition.
Get from Hermaphrodite to Mary Poppins.

Are we to get to Mary Poppins the film, stage play, book series or character? Four different pages.

EDIT: Hermaphrodite > Michael Crichton > Jurassic Park(Film) > Universal Studios > Walt Disney > Mary Poppins(Film)
