Default Game: Kevin Bacon, Wikipedia style!

Alright, I just thought this up, and it seemed like such a great, fun idea to do in the internet, I had to share it with all you fine Gurus! You remember that old game where someone would say the name of a celebrity and you had to link that person with Kevin Bacon (or any other celebrity of your choice) by naming actors/actresses they were together with in movies?

Well, my idea is similar, but involves Wikipedia. Essentially, the first person (ideally me) gives two words, or 'things' (can be a phrase or movie title or state of being, whatever) that the next person has to link through Wikipedia's 'quick-links' from the starting page, and end up on the ending page. They then post on here the words they clicked through to get to the final page.

Hopefully I made it pretty clear, but if not, I'm going to do a short example:

Starting page: Wikipedia
Ending page: Ferret

Alright Here I go!

Wikipedia
1. Original Research
2. Chemical Element
3. Carbon
4. Life
5. Kingdom (biology)
6. Animal
7. List of animal names
Ferret

There we go! Relatively easy. Only 7 steps in-between. Alright, time for me to let this puppy loose.

Starting Page: Salt
Ending Page: Billy Bob Thornton

Sorry to Lock this but, if you haven't noticed, the Off Topic Section is currently going through some Construction, and we do not want more games posted at the current time.

Maybe re-add this at a later date, if we allow more then what the Off Topic Posters want.
