How Do I Get to the Empire State Building?
I haven’t had any time to Slog today (or Flog, as a weird friend likes to call it) because I’ve been busy getting tomorrow’s paper out and, in particular, working on a story about some questionable billings at the the Democratic State Party. (That story is up online now.)
Perusing the Slog, however, I have no fucking idea what my colleagues are up to. Why is there a picture of Abraham Lincoln up here?
Anyway, I want to publicize a game I’ve invented. It’s called The Wikipedia Challenge.
Here’s how you play: Two players agree on one common Wikipedia entry, say, The Empire State Building. Then each player assigns the other player a different Wikipedia entry. For example, Player A assigns Player B Janet Reno, while Player B assigns Player A Beverly Hills 90210. The player that is able—through links—to get from their assigned entry to the Empire State Building entry in the fewest clicks wins!
Oh, I like this..
