Foo - The wikipedia game

So when you go to a wiki article it has a ton of links in it. The trick, follow the links. Where will it end? I shall start with cycling, you shall take us where?

If I were single, I would have my hobos fly me to NYC to buy her a beer. Is you ignorant or something boy?

That's ok. As it happens, I have my own personal beer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrewing)supplier.

Who can get to Kevin Bacon from homebrewing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrewing)in 6 steps or less?

I'm a boy pretending to be a girl pretending to be a boy.

That is okay, I do not judge, don't think Eboo does either. You can ask her yourself when you man/boy/girl/man up and buy her a beer.

Something that was never clarified: does it have to be the first link in the article or any arbitrary one.

I vote for first link (so we don't sway the path) that does not lead back to the previous article (so it doesn't get stuck in a loop).
