Let's play a game: Fun with Wikipedia
Step 1: Search any random article you want
Step 2: Click on links to other articles within the article
Step 3: See how many times it takes you to get to the article on Adolf Hitler
Step 4: Post your history as to how you got there.
Step 5: ?
Step 6: Profit!

Example:

1. Entourage (TV series)
2. comedy-drama
3. Mass media
4. Propaganda
5. Propaganda #Nazi Germany
6. Adolf Hitler

1. Here's a short cut method
Step 1: Search any random article you want
Step 2: Once you're on that article, type "Adolf Hitler" into the Wikipedia search bar and hit enter.

You'll have to help me with the profit thing, however. I don't see how any of this would make us money.
