wikipedia
watched Hot Fuzz last night at The Big Brother's Room (i shall call it that way from now on XD) haha... the british humour... (yeah spelling...) it was pretty funny XD
anyway, in relation to the subject..
Wikipedia (it's amusing to find an entry referring to itself) is really useful... and addicting when you've got the time (or even if you're just busy and bored at the same time...) They said that after a few hours (i believe it should only be a few minutes to an hour...) you will find yourself reading an article that is far from the article where you started... far meaning, they are totally "unrelated" topics.
why can it be so addicting?
well... check an article. there are a lot of links there referring to different words, even if it's not really relevant to the article. so if you don't know what that word is, you click it (in my case, right-click > open in new tab) then you get to a new article with new links... you click some of those again and you're in the 3rd level already... after those few clicks, you'll get addicted and just read and read more about certain topics... check after an hour and you might end up in something really "unrelated" to the one you started reading...
i'm typing the word "unrelated" in quotes since they really aren't that unrelated... you just see them as unrelated but you wouldn't have ended up there if it wasn't in some way related to the first article... right?
so this gave me an idea... why not try and look for ways of tracking the relationship of certain topics...
here's an example...
Link Battle Royale (film) and Leehom Wang:
Battle Royale > Taro Yamamoto > Moon Child > Leehom Wang
so there were 2 articles in between... pretty short... let's try something a little far off...
Leehom Wang and Juggling:
Leehom Wang > Norika Fujiwara > Shrek > Donkey (Shrek) > Acrophobia > Chair > Bean Bag > Juggling
Connect those two and you can find a relation between the very bloody Battle Royale and the "art" of Juggling... impressive...
I hope there's somebody who can make a program or script that can find a relation to any topic on wikipedia... not a bad idea right? ;) anyone want to try? please inform me...
