| So my friend and I came up with a game the other day, I call it "Where's Hitler?". It's not as bad as it sounds, so bear with me on this. The game is played between two people, one person goes to Wikipedia and clicks "Random Article". From that page, the goal is to reach Hitler's page in five pages or less. For example, if one clicks Random Article and gets "Petrakiella Fungi", which I did, I had to find Hitler's page using only the links on that page to guide me. In that instance I wound up getting: Petrakiella Fungi > Monotype taxon > Race > Racial Superiority > Hitler. The game is played until one person can't get to Hitler's page in five clicks or less, thus the other is the victor. So far, Jace is the only person that's beaten me... and he's beaten me several times, I'm pretty sure he's a Wikipedia wizard. Anyway, give it a try sometime, it's surprisingly addicting.

| On that same one, I got Petrakiella Fungi > Scientific Classification > Charles Darwin > Adolph Hitler. Which isn't really fair to poor, mild-mannered Charles Darwin, but oh well. I won.

| Even though it was rather easy with the Stormtrooper Corps, I think you deserve some kind of prize for going from an unrelated site to Hitler.
