Wikipedia - give me your "Random Article"

Sue Perkins > London > etc yes this is too easy.

Well, it's easy if your random article is a British personality, yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Wikipedia:Wikington_Crescent may be useful otherwise. Learning this is the equivalent of learning all the two letter words in Scrabble.

user pages disallowed!

bit more of a challenge:
Lenoir cycle > Pulse jet engine > The Blitz > London...

It seems quite impossible to get there in less than four links, unless you're really lucky.

Sorry, wrong link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Mornington_Crescent_tube_station

There. Some of these are pretty useful.

I think London Underground is still your best bet to get there. And then... you get all of these:

Types of Bakuvian Bazaars > Azerbaijan > United Nations > United Nations member states > Belize > Sport in Belize > Belize Premier Football League > FC Belize

This really makes no sense to me. At all.

Uxtal is a fictional character from the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. He is Lost Tleilaxu Elder Burah's assistant, and appears in Hunters of Dune.

Second-rank Uxtal's job was to serve as an assistant to Elder Burah, transcribing meetings and disseminating the information to other Elders of the Lost Tleilaxu. That is until his entire life changed when Khrone killed Burah.

With all the Elders replaced by Lost Tleilaxu Face Dancers, Uxtal was forced to travel to the Tleilaxu capitol city of Bandalong to create the orange adrenaline-based chemical spice substitute for the rogue Honored Matres leader Hellica, who now ruled Bandalong. He was soon tasked to create a ghola for Face Dancer Khrone from a partially damaged nullentropy tube found inside a partially charred Tleilaxu Master, and urged to create synthetic spice. [1]

About four years after the escape of the Ithaca from Chapterhouse, Uxtal was able to create a Baron Vladimir Harkonnen ghola for Khrone, and he was able to come up with a serviceable manufacturing method for producing the adrenaline-based spice substitute that was efficient enough to satisfy Matre Superior Hellica. [2]

About eleven years after the escape of the Ithaca from Chapterhouse, Khrone discovered the dagger that killed Muad'dib, preserved inside a nullentropy field in Dan along with Muad'dib's blood. Khrone ordered Uxtal to create a Paul Atreides ghola. [3]

Uxtal's first attempt at growing a Paul ghola failed because the axlotl tank was not properly tended over the years, and the ghola died. Uxtal finally succeeded in creating a Paul ghola, it was born thirteen years after the escape of the Ithaca from Chapterhouse, and was named Paolo.

Me neither.

Hunters of dune is by Frank Herbert's son. It is apocryphal

Naomi Almeida (b. 1996) was 5 years old when she was abducted from her father's home in London, Ontario in August 2001. She had been sleeping on the couch in her father's ground floor apartment, and the patio door had been left open to cool the apartment. When her family awoke the next morning, Naomi was missing, and her bloodied underpants were found outside.

Police organized a volunteer search of the area near her father's home. That afternoon, teenager Thomas Hurst went to the London Police Station with his mother and step-father and turned himself in. Naomi was found in his mother's apartment a block away from where she was abducted. She had been sexually assaulted and hidden in a duffle bag.

Thomas Hurst is currently serving a life sentence for her murder, with parole eligibility after 25 years.
