Six Degrees of Separation

[AmandaBear]

I'm sure that a lot of you are familiar with the theory of "six degrees of separation" that states that every person on Earth is connected to each other by an average of six "steps". For example, with me it takes only 3 steps to connect to Emperor Hirohito, who was the ruler of Japan during World War II. That's because my grandfather was a bodyguard to general Douglas MacArthur, who was in a close alliance with Hirohito. So it would look like Me-->Grandpa-->MacArthur-->Hirohito.

So, for those of you who are as bored as I am at the moment, I'm posting a little bit of a game to see how many clicks on Wikipedia from a random article it takes to get to the "tickling" article on wiki. The rules are as such:
1) Click on this link and it'll take you to a random Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
2) Click your way through Wikipedia until you've reached the page for tickling. And no typing anything in the search box. 😉
3) Once you've reached the tickle page, post how many pages you clicked on to reach the article. You can also type the names of each article you visited to reach your goal.
4) Congratulations! You won! And here's your prize for all your efforts. LOL 😀

For those who don't feel like playing the game for shits and giggles, feel free to post how many steps it takes for you to get to a certain person, if you can think of one. It could be a celebrity, politician, athlete...you name it.

OH, and this thread doesn't belong in the Silly Stuff area, right? Since it's a one time thing, I figured not, but feel free to redirect it, anyway.

Anyway, good luck!

Electricity sector in Haiti --> Renewable energy --> Sunlight --> Biological_pigments --> Skin --> Secondary_sex_characteristic --> Vagina

Wait... what was I supposed to find again? 😛

Anyways, continued:

Vagina --> Orgasm --> Pleasure --> Happiness --> Laughter --> Tickling

YAY I DID IT!


(I've played this game before, but then you had to get to an article about Hitler or Nazi Germany in under 5 clicks XD)

You wanted to stop at vagina? 😱

Yeah, I've noticed that basically anything sexual nearly always leads to the tickling article. XD Soo...that took you 11 clicks? Not bad at all. 😉

Sorry Twinny! XD I got "distracted" on the way...


Indeed. 11 clicks. YOUR TURN! 😉

Bah, that's no excuse!

But...but I'm the OP. 😱 I though the OP was exempt from such things. 😀
Meh...screw it:
1964 Pittsburgh Steelers Season-->List of Pittsburgh Steelers Starting Quarterbacks-->Ben Roethlisberger-->College football-->Football-->Foot-->Foot fetishism-->Category:Sexual fetishism-->Category:BDSM-->Category:Bondage-->Bondage (sexual)-->Tickling fetishism-->Tickling

Aha! God, I didn't think the Steelers would take me there. XD
Hmm...12 clicks. Less than you then. 🙁

Asuogyaman District --> Districts of Ghana --> Regions of Ghana --> Capital city --> Law --> Human rights --> Women's rights --> Sex segregation and Islam --> Adultery --> Rape --> Rape fantasy --> BDSM --> Bondage (sexual) --> Tickling fetishism --> Tickling

And it took me only 15 degrees to get to Tickling from Asuogyaman District! 😱


I was connected to the members of *NSYNC through my friend's grandfather. He was the driver for their tour bus. 😀

Me --> my friend --> my friend's grandfather--> *NSYNC

I always thought that was so cool because I was a huge *NSYNC fan when I was younger. 😛

Wow, that was a weird one you got. 😵 But so far, you lose. The record is 11 degrees by Carso. >:3

Oh wow, you're separated from *NSYNC by only 3 degrees? 😱 That's pretty cool. 🙂 I was never into American boy bands (Asian boy bands are so much better lol), but that's still pretty awesome to think about.

Let's try this again.

Charles Mayne Young --> Hamlet --> Psychology --> Human sexuality --> Bondage (sexual) --> Tickling fetishism --> Tickling

7 degrees of separation. I just kicked Carsomyr's arse!

He'll have to come back and reclaim his title then. >:3

NICE! XD

I'll try to beat it later, but since we're apparently doing real life separations as well, I got two cool ones as well. 😀

Me --> My old geography teacher --> Daniel Alfredsson (famous hockey player ) So I'm separated by two degrees, and since he knows my all-time hero Peter Forsberg... That's only three degrees to him!

Oh and for those of you who know who Raoul Wallenberg is, I'm only separated by a couple of degrees from him as well. He's actually distantly related to me even, although on a different branch on the family tree, so I'm sure my aunt who attends these "reunions" have either met someone old enough to have known Raoul directly, or who knows another Wallenberger who does. I think that's really cool, personally, since I've always had a great deal of respect for that man. XD

Oh and for those of you who know who Raoul Wallenberg is, I'm only separated by a couple of degrees from him as well. He's actually remotely related to me, although on a different branch on the family tree, so I'm sure my aunt who attends these "reunions" have either met someone old enough to have known Raoul directly, or who knows another Wallenberger who does. I think that's really cool, personally, since I've always had a great deal of respect for that man. XD

Oh wow, you're connected to a lot of hockey players then. 😀 Pretty cool stuff.

My thread fails because only two people besides me have posted in it. 🙁
Ah, well...may as well play the game again. 😀
Moloch-->Computer Science-->People-->Chimpanzees-->Tickling

Aha! New record!!!
4 degrees! Beat that, bitches. >:3

Watch it! As my Twinny, you are technically of the same royalty... The fact that I'm the KING of fail only means that I still outrank you! 😀

Yay! New person!
How the hell did you get wiener dogs by chance? 😱 What are the odds, right?

 

[Tinkerhead414]

Woohoo! 9 Clicks, technically.

Wu Yun Dong > University of California > Stem cell > Human Body > Human Skin > Nail > Toe > Foot > Sole> Tickling

It really depends on the first one though. The first time I did it, I quit after 20 or so.

I agree. However, I didn't think I'd make it in 4 clicks with the first article being "Moloch". I mean, WTF?! XD

 

[Tinkerhead414]

Yeah, that is random. Part of it is what they choose to link to other articles. I found an article that talked about foot massage (Pulp Fiction) but it wasn't linked at all. I ended up having to click on something else.
