My brother said that sometimes in college he and his buddies would go on Wikipedia and have races to find specific pages from other pages using only the hotlinks and not the keyboards. (No Ctrl-F either)
So this game is very much akin to

Get to Batman as fast as possible.

So this game is to find the fastest path from point A to point B, and include the articles you went through in your post.
Optionally, you can find the funniest.
The person with the popular vote or somesuch gets to post the next two things to link.
Get to Plato from Orange [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_(colour)]
The Fruit or the colour? Make sure that the starting or ending points are specific.
First thing:
Get to Tomato starting from Engineer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer]. GO!

Wow I feel stupid...blast...I just did it from the fruit.

Orange -> Southern Europe -> Greece - > List Of Greeks -> Plato So that's four clicks. Or does Orange count as one?

Orange -> Netherlands -> Europe -> Ancient Greece -> Greek Philosophy -> Plato

How about a new challenge? Birras? Or unless, Copter400? Or because this is your forum game, Anarchemitis?
