On Wikipedia, you used to be able to go from any article to Philosophy by clicking on the first link of every page.

As of April 4th, this no longer works. Most pages now get stuck in a loop with Truth, Fact, and a few pages in between.

I discover these things from boredom in English class.

How bored do you have to be to click on the first link of every article you go to for funsies? Oh well, nice find, I guess.

I find it interesting that it leads back to something as profound as philosophy instead of something silly, like cats.

Darn, didn't even know about this until I couldn't do it anymore. Dang... oh well. Kinda reminds me of this game, in a way: http://www.cs.mcgill...st/wikispeedia/

I used to play that all the time in high school. We had way too much free time on our hands - mostly in a 50 minute block they called "academy."

There's one game that my friends and I like to play (and if you're under 18 or faint of heart I'd advise against it). We call it "F**k" as in the word that rhymes with "luck."

First, hit the Random Article button on the left side of Wikipedia's main page. Now scroll around the article you're now in and click any link. Repeat this process over and over--first person to get to the "sexual intercourse" article wins. If you get stuck, you are allowed to use the Random Article button again, but you can only do this three times--get stuck a fourth time, and you're out.

Have fun.
