That's a different path than I was thinking of, but it works too!
The path I had originally constructed was Hillary Clinton -> Vast right wing conspiracy -> Get Fuzzy -> Siamese cat.
Now you post one! :bounce:

Here's my stab at it:
Phillips Petroleum Company -> US Supreme Court -> United States -> Sports in the United States -> Amateur wrestling -> Wrestling -> Professional wrestling -> WWE -> Vince McMahon
That was like, 8 degrees there. :P

12. Well, I got this close ... |
|
Mammoth
1. La Brea Tar Pits
2. Scotland
3. Bagpipes
... but it only worked partly forwards and partly backwards for me. I can get from mammoth --> Scotland and from bagpipes --> Scotland ... but no further with these exact terms either way (unless I edit Wikipedia). :-)

22. Was that the path you took? |
|
I've never played this game before but it was fun(ish). I'm thinking a version where people try to get a lower number using different paths.
But which path did you take?
