Here is something to waste your time. I was playing this last night with a friend over MSN, so I thought I would try it on a larger scale.
Basicly you start with two random objects/things (which have pages on Wikipedia) and you have to link them together.

Example (this is one we did last night)
Key Link One: Ben Folds
Key Link Two: Oatmeal

Ben Folds > William Shatner > Kingdom of the Spiders > Day of the Animals > Leslie Nielsen > 2001: A Space Odyssey > Ape > Monkey > Fruit > Wheat > Porridge > Oatmeal

Once we had completed a link we had to say another random object/thing, which the other person had to link from Oatmeal too.
Points are award for linking through the most random things.

Rules
  • Links must be real
  • The new Key link must have a wiki page
  • You must show your working out
  • Don't use the find function
  • Don't use the destination page for clues

So time to get started, Link Oatmeal to NATO

Oatmeal - heart disease - aneurysm - childbirth - Pain and nociception - injury - assault - law enforcement - Metropolitan Police Service - Specialist Operations - September 29 - 2001 - Sept 11 - September 11, 2001 attacks - NATO

That took far too long.
 
Piranha > South America > Pacific Ocean > New Zealand > Volcano > Supervolcano

Link Supervolcano to Spaghetti Tree

EDIT: Another good rule in the game is to not be able to use the find function in your browser and *not* be able to look at the destination wiki article as that will give big clues on how to get there. :)

Link Spaghetti Tree to Spandex

*EDIT* Sorry jon86 I cheated by looking at the destination page.
Click to expand...

Spandex - Rubber - Para rubber tree - tree - List of Woods - European Larch - Europe - United Kingdom - Transport in the United Kingdom - Motorway - Gravelly Hill Interchange (Spaghetti Juction) - Spaghetti - Spaghetti Tree

Long and backwards but it's all the same.
