Lost in Wikipedia

Ever looked something up on Wikipedia and found yourself on a completely unrelated subject an hour later? This competition forces you to find logical connections between two unrelated Wiki topics

Specifics

Connect two unrelated topics while only clicking through links in Wikipedia. This can be done through randomly clicking or plotting a course through available links. For example: connect lightsaber to Dr. Mario. The submission would look something like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightsaber

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_sword

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Mario#Other_appearances

Details

You will be judged on the number of links it takes to get from point A to point B. Winners will be decided by the shortest path created. Ties will be decided by submission speed. Post all wiki urls in the box below so your path can be followed. Click subscribe to see the two topics to connect
