The Wikipedia game

[Saskwach]

Thanks to wikipedia, every subject is connected. With enough patience I'm sure you could get from macaroni to Iron Maiden by just following links. It's all a matter of how much time you want to spend learning esoterica.
To celebrate this, let's play a fun, frivolous game.
Start with a topic, then follow the third link in the body of the article, not including index, or note links. Repeat 9 more times. Post your results.
Here's mine: Hard rock [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_rock]->Psychedelic Rock [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_rock]->Blues (I was sad that the second link was hallucinogenic drugs. Think of the fun we could have had together!) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues]->Blue note [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_note]->Note [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note]->Sound [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound]->Sense [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense]->Cognitive Psychology [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_psychology]->Wolfgang Kohler [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_K%C3%B6hler]->Gestalt Theory [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_theory]
Summary: Hard Rock->Gestalt Theory

Magic>Zoroastrianism>Winchester College>New College, Oxford>Endless loop between the two colleges.

Huh, that didn't turn out so well. It deteriorated so quickly.

Edit: changed cottage to college.

Summary: Human Sacrifice->Netherlands Antilles

Human Sacrifice->Human Being->Mammalian->Animal->Organisms->Unicellular->Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek->Delft->Netherlands->Netherlands Antilles

At first I was worried, because I was getting a junior high school lesson in human classifications. What was awesome about this line-up was that I ended up associating Human Sacrifice with The Netherlands. Awesome idea by the way.

I'd like to thank the academy, god, and your mom. Actually, just your mom.

- J, who in spite of everything, still thinks "your mom" is hilarious

EDIT: Wait a minute...

RE-Edit: Nevermind. "Your Mom" doesn't link to anything fun.
