  Some of these are fascinating. http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Persimmon&to=Y+Combinator http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Pers... http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Noria&to=Y+Combinator http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Nori... http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=botulism&to=Y+Combinator http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=botu... http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=chaffinch&to=Y+Combinator http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=chaf... http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=lorgnette&to=Y+Combinator http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=lorg...

  So! Once again we meet, Otto Jespersen. And this time, linking caturday with onomatopoeia. http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=caturday&to=onomatopoeia http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=catu...

    I can't speak for the others, but I, for one, was disappointed to see that this was not the Norwegian comedian, as I'd really love to see him linking caturday with onomatopoeia.

  It's kind of fun to look for pairs with the biggest number of links. And challenging. I can't seem to get above 4 clicks. GWB and random phrases are fun: http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=cleopatra&to=george+bush http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=cleo... http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=amygdala&to=george+bush http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=amyg... I found some weirdness with case: http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=lake+huron&to=Urban+Dictionary http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=lake... returns an error but http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake+Huron&to=urban+dictionary http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake... does not nor does http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake+Huron&to=Urban+Dictionary http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake... nor http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake+Huron&to=Urban+dictionary http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake... which is weird. Overall a pretty cool timesink. Perhaps more...

  like this one: Idea, Profit. http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=idea&to=profit http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=idea...

    http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=idea&to=failure http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=idea... (You knew it was gonna be THEIR fault, didn't you, you just wanted to be PC and not say anything ;-))

      Interesting that the path goes through "Islamic psychological thought", while the path to profit goes through Bertrand Russell and evil.
