BoingBoing.net has a humorous game up that I wanted to open to the HX readership:
You can play a game with coworkers or family called Click to Jesus.1. Go over to Wikipedia.
2. Click “Random Article” just below the Wikipedia unfinished Death Star logo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
3. Choose the link in the article you think will get you closest to the Jesus article.
4. Keep track of the articles. Continue step 3 until you arrive at Jesus.Scoring:
1 point for Random page
1 point for each click
1 point for Jesus page
Lowest score wins. Try it and post your results!
My score? I tried it and got a terrible random page: Dictionary of Chemical Formulas/Merge/C18. Yeah, seriously. I randomly clicked through until I found a country highlighted which would have a religion section. So the path was: Dictionary of Chemical Formulas > Ethyl Loflazepate > Mexico > Christianity > Jesus. So 5 points, which isn’t great but what else could I do with Chemical Formulas?
Your score and path?
