Did you know :O
Okay there's this thing my sister told me about awhile ago
I'm not sure how commonly it's known and it's cool if you're bored and have nothing to do
Wikipedia, if you go to any random article, like about sheep or glitter or Scratch.mit.edu or whatever
Click the first link, and it will take you to another page (duh); then click the first link on that page, and so on and so on--keep doing this long enough and all the pages are eventually directed to the page 'philosophy'
Okay for example:
Glasses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Glasses" can also be the plural form of _glass_.
"Spectacles" redirects here. For other uses, see _Spectacle (disambiguation)_.
Glasses, also known as eyeglasses (formal), spectacles or simply specs (informal), are frames bearing _lenses_ worn in front of the _eyes_.
The links _glass_ and _Spectacle_ come first, but you'd click _lenses_ because it's the first link of the actual article. If it says (in _Greek_, it's such-and-such) or similar, ignore the link _Greek_

Re: Did you know :O
Another rule would be that if you come across a link more than once skip past it and do the next to avoid loops.

Re: Did you know :O
Lets try this.
Blaster (computer worm)>Computer Worm>malware>short for > blend > linguistics >scientific > latin > italic language > Indo-European > family > languages > communication
> Infomation > ordered sequence > mathematics > Greek > Indo-European
It'd just loop...
If i did the second one at greek (quantity and then back to the first) it would work..

Re: Did you know :O
Unless it's an infinite loop, it's bound to that eventually though 
Why

Re: Did you know :O
Note: I am skipping over previously visited links so i don't get an infinite loop. I am only clicking links in the main article, not in the the "This article is a stub" boxes or whatever.

Re: Did you know :O
I feel dumb reading this.
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Re: Did you know :O
Uhh you could technically probably get to anything from anything that way if you kept going forever.
I think...
I would try but I have time to waste, I'de rather waste it on something that doesn't take that long. 
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time
