Post two topics. I predict I can link them within a chain of 6 wikipedia topics.

Wikipedia is one of the greatest things on earth. I spend hours reading up on things. Various wars, geography, etc. It was a great tool when I was studying for the State GeoBee.

Two topics:

1812 Overture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812_Overture

Guy Fawks
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Faukes

Are you joking? I don't even need Wiki to tell you the connection. V for Vendetta is about a man who idolizes Guy Fawkes for the gunpowder treason. At the beginning of the movie when V blows up that tower, he plays the 1812 overture over the city's announcement system.

But, for the sake of the game:

Guy Fawkes
V for Vendetta
V for Vendeeta (movie)
1812 Overture

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Faukes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_for_Vendetta
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_for_Vendetta_%28film%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812_Overture

Isn’t wikipedia a joke? I mean anyone can add something to a topic and that removes accuracy to the topic. I don’t think wikipedia is all that reliable of a source for information.

It's become much more accurate over the years. Occasionally you'll see bullshit, but if you post BS within a day, at the latest, it will be removed.

In a drunken rage last night I realized I don't have the patience to solve these. Show us how you do it. I am sure you can do it because I am convinced you can do just about anything.
