completely made my afternoon

You're right, blame it on Benkei, I just followed his lead. :-}
Just goes to show that you should never believe the things you see on the internet without checking it out first.
So school runs out to 8 clicks. — Sir2u

Lol, woops. Apparently I had linked through "quality" before via "consciousness" which made it darker and I couldn't see the difference with regular black text any more.

Amateur!

(Though it happened to me too)

Takes 4 for goat. This is clearly significant.

"Feces" loops back on itself I think.

I get 13.

I get 3 (if you skip the anchor link).

I thought the rule was nothing in "parentheses" and nothing in "italics". First one then seems to be "many other names"? What's the first link you use on the "feces" page then?

You click on the first link that goes to another article.

The "many other names" link is just an anchor to further down the same article. The "official" rules, as stated here, are:

• Clicking on the first non-parenthesized, non-italicized link
• Ignoring external links, links to the current page [my emphasis], or red links
• Stopping when reaching "Philosophy", a page with no links or a page that does not exist, or when a loop occurs

Oops, didn't read the rules. 13 it is!

You click on the first link that goes to another article. — jamalrob

Awww, shiiittttt. Stop making up rules!

"Cuban" goes for 3! - and does not end up at "philosophy".

Politician goes to 10 clicks.

That is a surprise: never imagined that there was even a small connection.

This makes the game easier: http://xefer.com/wikipedia

naked for 22.

I have tried more than once to play this game you guys are playing and I just don't freakin get it. I'll just sit over here, have a drink and watch. 8-)

Thank you Pneumenon!
Unicorn for 21

Why is 6 degrees!

That is very cool.

AK-47 for 29.

Zeus for 27.

I get 19 for both of those on Wikiloopr. Still can't beat murder the way I'm playing it. :-*

Toffee, 21 to Philosophy 24 to Ontology

Hmmm... I used Pneumenon's link. I'll check it out manually then...

Edit: I get even less.

So much for the shortcuts then. :s
