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!

Haha!

    Engineer, Scientific Knowledge, Evolutionary Biology, Biology, Botany, List of Domesticated Plants, Tomato!

Rather roundabout, but it got the job done......

I got it in 6.

Engineer,United States,flowering plant,land plant(embryophyte),plant,fruit,tomato.

Just 4 clicks.

Jamanticus:

I got it in five :P
Engineer,List of environmental engineers,Ellen Richards,Nutrition,Tomato soup,Tomato

I guess that makes me just behind galletea

So does that mean I win this time?
If so, the next challange is:

Get to Plato from Orange

galletea:

Orange the color or orange the fruit? That's two different pages.

My link is to the colour.

galletea:

My link is to the colour.

Wow I feel stupid...blast...I just did it from the fruit.

galletea:
Get to Plato from Orange

Done. Orange > Metaphysics > Philosophy > Plato.

Orange>Metaphysics>Plato.

You didn't need philosiphy Copter, I guess that puts me in the lead ^_^

Birras:
Orange>Metaphysics>Plato.

You didn't need philosiphy Copter, I guess that puts me in the lead ^_^

Not if I kill you...

Now now, father Grigori. Aim for the head some other time. Birrass, your turn.

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

Get to Stephen Hawking from S.O.A.D.

I'm not even sure if this is possible, but good luck, and godspeed

System of a Down > Wu-Tang Clan > New York > George Washington > George Washington University > Theoretical Physics > Stephen Hawking
6 Clicks

(I know I can do better, I was just trying my hardest to get Hawking from the freakin' Wu-Tang Clan!)

Trying again now...

System > Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum > Pomona College > Physics > Stephen Hawking
4 Clicks

Now to continue trying...

S.O.A.D > Ozzy Osbourne > Birmingham > Second city of the United Kingdom > United Kingdom > University of Cambridge > List of University of Cambridge members > Stephen Hawking

"not sure if this is possible" my ass 7 clicks

I don't think anyone can beat four clicks. Your game, Nuke.

Copter400:

Sweet, I'm up. And late!

From Pysch to Gregorian Calendar.

I got it in 3 links.

Psych > July 7 > Gregorian calendar

Holy hell, that was quick. Two clicks, and you're winner. Pick the next one.

Psych> 2006 > Gregorian Calendar. However since he already won I await the next challenge.

Ok. The next challenge is:

From the Volga to Aphasia (neurologial condition).

The Volga Bridge > Russia > Europe > Egocentricity > Ideology > Idea > Mind > Neuroscience > Neuropsychiatry > Mental Disorder > Aphasia Done!

Whew. That was a bit difficult.

Anarchemitis:
The Volga Bridge > Russia > Europe > Egocentricity > Ideology > Idea > Mind > Neuroscience > Neuropsychiatry > Mental Disorder > Aphasia Done!

Whew. That was a bit difficult.

Nice clicking, Anarchemitis. What challenge is next?

aussiesniper:
Ok. The next challenge is:

From the Volga to Aphasia (neurologial condition).

Volga > Ptolemy > Latin > List of Latin Phrases > List of Medical Roots, suffixes and prefixes > Nerve > Neurology > Communication disorder > Aphasia

I'm beating Anarchemitis by two! w00t!

Volga > Latin > List of Latin Phrases > List of Medical Roots, suffixes and prefixes > Nerve > Neurology > Communication disorder > Aphasia

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...

Okay, then if no one can beat it, I give a day before I post my next idea.
tee-hee.

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)

5 Clicks.

Michael Crichton isn't needed in there; Hermaphrodite > Jurassic Park > Universal Studies > Walt Disney > Mary Poppins(Film)

I was thinking film. SO currently BoVinE is in the lead.

Hermaphrodite > Clownfish > Finding Nemo > Walt Disney Company > Mary Poppins

I say mine's better because it has clownfish.
