Six Degrees of Wikipedia

[Chrono Crow]

This reminds me of the 100th episode of South Park.

[Saltine]

What the hell is "Wikipedia"?

[Portals]

Hippopotamus --> Kenya --> Tea --> Image:Teapot P1100116.jpg --> Kettle
Sorry about the picture, it's just that the word kettle kept coming up but wasn't a link.

Dental floss --> Clothing

[Chrono Crow]

I don't think ZP's rules were clear enough. . .

[kzager]

Nice. And shorter than mine, too (hippo, Walt Disney, Beauty and the Beast, Mrs. Potts, Teapot, Kettle)

[Nik]

Dental Floss -> Nylon -> clothing

My new challenge is Gunny Sack -> French Revolution

[kzager]

Gunny sack --> Gunny --> United States Marine Corps --> French First Republic --> French revolution.

Sun --> ... --> Lollipop.

[pitnyelder]

Gah, beaten to the punch and in fewer jumps. Well, here's my solution anyway.

gunny sack > sandbags > fortification > Maginot Line > France > French Revolution

[pitnyelder]

Gunny sack --> Gunny --> United States Marine Corps --> French First Republic --> French revolution.

Sun --> ... --> Lollipop.

sun > Milky Way Galaxy > Milky Way bar > candy bar > candy > lollipop

EDIT: Forgot to add an new challenge.

Gatorade --> The Six Million Dollar Man

[Itszutak]

Question: Are we allowed, if we see the word but it is not linked, to make a link in the article with brackets?

[Zombie Protestor]

Calculator --> Private Label --> Store Brand --> Dr Pepper

I got it in four... Is that okay?

Here's my suggestion:
Backpack --> Thermometer

Actually, you got it in three. The starting point doesn't count.

[Zombie Protestor]

I don't think ZP's rules were clear enough. . .

All righty. Start at the Wikipedia page for the first thing (it doesn't even have to be an object, really), and following links, get to the Wikipedia page about the second thing in 6 or less steps. It has to be a link, that's half the challenge.

[Jemry]

Gatorade>Tiger Woods>United States>Media>Television of the United States>History of Television>Archive of American Television>William Shatner>Star Trek>Leonard Nemoy>American Film Actors>American Film Actors S>American Film Actors Se>Tom Selleck.

Wait what was I supposed to get to?

Gatorade --> University of Florida --> University of North Texas --> Stone Cold Steve Austin --> The Six Million Dollar Man

Next challenge:

Pencil --> Tundra

[pitnyelder]

Are you missing a step, ZP? I can't find a link to University of North Texas on the University of Florida page.

[EvilJekyll]

Yeah there's not texas on the Florida page.

[kzager]

Whatev'

Pencil > Charcoal > Finland > Tundra

Bam

Next:
Gorilla Glue --> Gorilla

Edit: dang. I can do it in 7.

Edit2: I can do it in 5 if you use the navigation bar to the left. Though that'll change tomorrow.

and the alt-text says "'Taft in a wet t-shirt contest' is the key image here"

[Zombie Protestor]

Are you missing a step, ZP? I can't find a link to University of North Texas on the University of Florida page.

Yeah there's not texas on the Florida page.

Gorilla Glue> Brand> cannibalization> cannibalism> Africa> paleoanthropologist> gorilla

Next:
Grafschaft Abbey> diabetes

[DarthCat]

Next:
Grafschaft Abbey> diabetes

I actually managed to get one o' these - alright!

Grafschaft Abbey>Saint Charles Borromeo>Bubonic plague>Lymphatic system>Human anatomy>Endocrine system>Diabetes

All right, brainiacs. Garuda 1->Daimyo

[loofah]

I love how you can get to the destination in different days. It makes me think of "Connections".

Out of curiosity, were at least the first step or two the same?

[loofah]

nope.
