Title: There's nothing less fun.. Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, March 7, 2006, 11:06:18 ..that sitting and waiting for something to finish downloading.
So I invented a great game to help pass the hours. I call it the Ben Wikipedia game. (I bet someone else has already come up with this). The aim of the game is to get to a pre chosen article by only clicking on links in other articles. So you pick your target article. I'm going for Jamie Cureton. Now I go and press the random article button on the left. Yey. I've got to get from Spring Cleaning back to Jamie Cureton in as few a clicks as possible. I reckon everything should be possible in less than 10. For a more hardcore version you can ban going through countries. Can make it quite a mission if you don't have much knowledge of your target entry though. Man I know how to spend my time. Title: There's nothing less fun..

Post by: flammableBen on Tuesday, March 7, 2006, 11:30:05 I got pissed off. Got to the STFC page in 5/6 clicks only to find that although Jamie Cureton is mentioned the fucking link doesn't work. So I got angry and gave up.
haha ace edit. Think it's been removed allready though. Had to look in the history. Title: There's nothing less fun.. Post by: land_of_bo on Tuesday, March 7, 2006, 11:31:01 It must be someones job to sit there and check peoples edits....it only stayed up there for a few minutes and was gone!

Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, March 7, 2006, 14:44:43 My random link took me to full house a korean drama, then went to the category south korea, list of all korean topics, south korean football competitions, k league and there's a link to Jamie Cureton on there as he's one of the most famous players to play in the korean league. That's mad.
