Right, trying it out with Cantaloupe.

Edit: Holy shit! It actually only took exactly 16 clicks, too.

And technically you could say all the articles fall back to 'philosophy, rationality, and reason', as those three form a loop once you hit philosophy.

Took me 19 clicks. But the 2nd link on the 12th was philosophy.

Butt/buttocks only took 12. Butts are a more philosophical topic than cantaloupe.

Obviously.

Ten clicks here from Shizuhama Air Base.

If you keep going past philosophy, you wind up at Kevin Moore.

13 clicks for penis

29 clicks for DT. Of course, it took a long time

I think from now on the amount of philosophy of an object is measured by the amount of Wikipedia clicks

About 25 clicks for The Matrix, I forgot exactly how many on my way here. Either way, butts are more philosophical than The Matrix (not surprising).

edit: Worcestershire sauce is 17 clicks, still better than The Matrix.

Nine clicks from "Administrative units of Pakistan". That was unexpected.

Rebecca Black -------> Philosophy

My theory is that Wikipedia just doesn't get The Matrix.

26 clicks from Opeth to Philosophy. At one point I had Aristotle, but then it took me to Greece!

mizzl · « **Reply #19 on:** May 21, 2011, 09:04:21 AM »

Wtf 14 clicks for Brokencyde

skydivingninja · « **Reply #20 on:** May 21, 2011, 09:06:04 AM »

Astroturf is more philosophical than Butts/buttocks AND Cantaloupe. I got to philosophy in 10 clicks.

Josip Šimić - a Croation football player - 17 clicks, I think.

I thought it was going to be much sooner, it went from Croation to European to languages and then stuff like "Communication" and "Philosophy of languages" pretty quickly, then even to Aristotle... but after that it went away again and only got back to Philosophy eventually via Science.

Edit: Next random article was a Ruslan Rotan, a Ukranian football player, which is an odd coincidence. He only took 9 clicks

Well, at least butts are still better than Brokencyde (and The Matrix is worse than poo).

Cheese took 9.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #25 on:** May 21, 2011, 09:12:00 AM »

This was sort of expected, but death only took 5.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #26 on:** May 21, 2011, 09:14:21 AM »

John Petrucci took 12.

Easily done. Just rearrange the wording of two articles so the first things they link to are one another.

~~"Planetoid" links to philosophy, but only on the first link, not the second.~~
Note to self: lrn2read

But anyway, is this six degrees of philosophy?
