So! Once again we meet, Otto Jespersen. And this time, linking caturday with onomatopoeia.

I can't speak for the others, but I, for one, was disappointed to see that this was not the Norwegian comedian, as I'd really love to see him linking caturday with onomatopoeia.

Interesting that the path goes through "Islamic psychological thought", while the path to profit goes through Bertrand Russell and evil.

It's kind of fun to look for pairs with the biggest number of links. And challenging. I can't seem to get above 4 clicks.

GWB and random phrases are fun:

http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=amyg...

I found some weirdness with case:

http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=lake...

returns an error but

http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake...

does not nor does

http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake...

nor

http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/cgi-bin/shortpath.cgi?from=Lake...

which is weird. Overall a pretty cool timesink. Perhaps more...
