Reminds me that if you keep clicking the first link (ignoring anything in brackets) of the article on a wikipedia page you will eventually hit philosophy and then get in a 3-4 page loop.

edit: Having just checked, the loop is now a 2 page loop between reality and philosophy.

I just tried it beginning with the article on HN and ended up in a 9 article loop beginning with science.
Hacker news -> Social News -> Website -> Web page -> Document -> WordNet -> Lexical database -> Lexical resource -> Lexicon -> Linguistics -> Science -> Knowledge -> Fact -> Proof (truth) -> Argument -> Philosophy -> Reality -> Philosophy

How did you get stuck in science? That's actually quite a long route to philosophy, when I've done this before it's usually a lot faster.
