Example: Piotr Wysocki -> Poland -> Polish National Catholic Church -> Jesus Christ

I prefer the dried and flaking kind. Preferably from nearby abandoned structures. It tastes better when it's dry.

That's a game that started back in the early days of the web, but back then you had to start at a website and try to get to porn in as few clicks as possible.

Another method is to start somewhere, get at least 10 clicks out, and then try to find your way back to the beginning without hitting any of the pages you've gone through. You can kill an afternoon with 5 clicks to Jesus, but this can kill whole relationships.

Wow I thought I invented that game. The way we play at work is to always start at the front page, and then try to get to whatever the topic is.

Haha, sounds sorta fun. Probably would get bored with it after awhile though.
