How funny, I was just thinking of this "game" earlier today. I was watching the Casey Anthony trial and hearing the testimony about all the articles she was looking at on Wikipedia and some of them were strange, like going from hand to hand combat to preparing for a zombie invasion. It made me think about what kind of things they'd have to say I'd been looking at if I was accused of murder after playing this game.

But I'll play the game anyway! Now that I've written this post they will have a record of why I clicked those links.

I'll start with Frank James Burke, a member of the Gambino mob family, who were known for their money laundering, which played a role in the movie The Shawshank Redemption, which lost the Best Picture Academy Award of 1994 to Forrest Gump, which stars Tom Hanks, who went to college both in Hayward, the city where I was born, and Sacramento, the city where I currently live.

How's that, two of my hometowns in 8 pages.

Kevin Bacon was in the movie JFK, which focused on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, who was President of the United States, as was Andrew Jackson, who had led the forces that captured Pensacola during the War of 1812.

Ok, so the initial page wasn't random, but I couldn't resist.

a variation on this:
click on random article, then take the first link in the article not in parentheses, then take the first link not in parentheses on each subsequent page. In case of loops, take the next link after the offending link.
you will eventually end up at philosophy.
