...or anyone really... but it made me think primarily of Eryk.

While aimlessly surfing the web, I happened upon the claim that if one were to select any given Wikipedia article and click the first link of the article text that does not appear in either italics or within parentheses, and then keep doing so for each subsequent article, in very short order you would wind up at the article for "Philosophy".


A couple tests:

"Legion of Super-Heroes"
Fictional
Narrative
Sequence (disambiguation)
Sequence
Mathematics
Quantity
Property (philosophy)
Modern Philosophy
Philosophy


"Calamity King"
Comic Book
Magazine
Publications
Content
Information
Order Theory
Mathematics
Quantity
Property (philosophy)
Modern Philosophy
Philosophy


Yep... looks good. Have at it, EDE. wink

I assumed you also don't click on the links in the info boxes.

I started with :

Hairspray (2007 film)
musical film
film genre
film theory
cinema
recording
data
variable
mathematics
quantity
property (philosophy)
philosophy

Although the link from quantity was just property, but the article is property (philosophy)

It looks like once you get to mathematics, you end up with philosophy.
