Just discovered today that if you continuously click on the first link of any Wikipedia article (that is not in brackets or italicised) it will eventually lead you to the topic on Philosophy.

If by 'discovered' you mean 'read on XKCD[^]' than I know what you mean ;)

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Still a darned good read.

It actually works, lol. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series) -> Comic science fiction -> Genre -> Literature -> Latin -> Italic Languages -> Indo-European languages -> Language family -> Language -> Communication -> Meaning (philosophy of language)

As I am sure you knew, today is Towel Day[^]. I hope you all have yours.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Oh, you too did that :-O

Just today brought a towel to work. By accident. That just my innate galaxyhitchhiker abilities! (still had it in the bag from yesterdays physiotherapy)

Just tried it on the Random Article. After three clicks I was in an infinite loop! Help! I still stuck there ...

Skip the link that creates the loop and it works...

It worked for me, try this: 2011 eruption of Grímsvötn (in 'In the news' section) --> Grímsvötn --> Iceland --> Europe --> Continent --> Landmass --> Landform --> Earth science --> Science --> Knowledge --> Fact --> Information --> Sequence --> Mathematics --> Research --> Knowledge --> Fact --> Reality (skip 'Information' to avoid infinite loop) --> Being --> English language --> West Germanic languages --> Germanic languages --> Indo-European languages --> Language family --> Language --> Communication --> Meaning (philosophy of language) --> Philosophy

[RyanEK]

Err yeah thats exactly what I meant. I didn't claim to discover it myself.
