A new challenge.

Over the course of this week, I'm going to see how long it takes for me to navigate between a pair of unrelated topics on Wikipedia, using only their hyperlinks. I'm thinking of starting with the pair "mitochondria" and "Popeye," but I am open to suggestions.

Perhaps this will become a widespread internet fad, much like blogging or inserting Star Trek characters into sexy stories. Hah, I just said "inserting."

Stay tuned for the results.

It took me nine clicks:

Mitochondrion (there was no "mitochondria" entry) - Greek - Indo-European language - List of languages - English language - English literature - Literature - Comic books - American comic book - Popeye

I'm sure I'll be Farked any day now.

Going backwards, I've just discovered:

Popeye - Spinach - Iron - Organism - Enzyme - Cellular Respiration - Mitochondrion

As an amusing tangent, I remember the mitochondria in my highschool bio text sort of resembling a tangled Alpha-Bit orgy.
