This could very well turn into an obsession. It’s a tool that finds the shortest path between two Wikipedia subjects.

My first query was to find a path from Bill Clinton to Object-oriented programming. Surprisingly, those two subjects are but four degrees apart: Bill Clinton -> Yale University -> Turing Award -> Object oriented programming. Sadly, my second query, to find a path between the Green Bay Packers and Friedrich Hayek failed. It seems Wikipedia has no entry for the Green Bay Packers.

Hmmm. Some more digging finds that there is also no entry for Friedrich Hayek. Oh well.
