I thought of this while having lunch with a friend of mine today.

Two words or concepts are proposed.

The starting concept is looked up in Wikipedia.

The winner is whoever can get from the first concept to the second concept in the least number of clicks.

Our test run in #DoB today: Holocaust -> Light-Emitting Diode.

Winners: Tom and myself, with 5 clicks.

My path was: Holocaust, IBM, list of IBM products, IBM 029, diode, light-emitting diode.

Let the games begin!

Mav wins the second round with 2 clicks between "New England Clam Chowder" and "Holy Roman Empire". We chose the same path, but he was way faster.

Congrats Mav!

Dools beat me again! Four clicks from FDR to lube: Roosevelt -> Liberalism -> Prostitution -> Condoms -> Lubricant!

I get free pointz for managing to get butt plugs into my path, though: Roosevelt -> Liberalism -> Sexual orientation -> Sex -> Anal Sex -> Human sexual behavior -> Butt plug -> Lube.

I remember back when I used to have hope for humanity….now I’m not sure when I lost it. Maybe it was when you guys were trying to connect Roosevelt to Lube?

Lockhart wins, because your claim isn’t valid unless you provide your path!

allyl -> bit stuffing
