And xkcd itself is "18 steps to philosophy"...



I don't think it works correctly though... it uses "Author" as the first link whereas the first link in the text of the article is "webcomic" ("Author" is in the summary pannel on the side)

The same happens for cities or locations, where there is usually a "Coordinates" in the upper right corner. Still, I did it manually in text bodies, and you eventually end up to Science or Mathematics, which leads to Philosophy.


It seems to be taking the right panel first. Same thing happened to me with Trade[1], leaded to San Juan de Dios Market

So is "Potato" and "Caen", and the majority of other things I tried. For Godwin points, "Hitler" is only 14 steps.
