There is a web tool that looks for the shortest path from A to B in wikipedia. It is the most awesome thing that ever awesomed.
For example, look! You can get from Jean-Francois Lyotard to Toothpaste in four easy steps! Aesthetics, Ancient Rome, Marble, Toothpaste. I don't know why there's a link to toothpaste on the marble page, but now I've got to go find out.
You have to tell it to ignore date pages, or you get boring results via, like, 1924 and 1978. Pah.
This randomness brought to you by the latest xkcd comic. FYI, it takes only two extra links to get from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to Cotton: Tacoma Narrows Bridge; Architecture; Industrial Revolution; Cotton
But you could get to Wet T-shirt Contest even faster: Tacoma Narrows Bridge; Drawn Together; Lost in Parking Space, Part One; Spring break; Wet T-shirt contest
