lol, useful thinks

This is a variation of the 7 degrees of separation I came up with a while ago. We will play it in this thread, and you are welcome to teach it to your kids, friends, relatives, or whomever you wish, and with any variations you see fit.

The goal
Get from point A to point B by clicking links on each article in a wiki, such as Wikipedia, in 7 links or less.

How to play:
The last person to have "scored" will have posted a new set of articles. You must effectively navigate from the first to the second, without searching. For example:

Porn -> The Holocaust

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn
links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_anatomy
links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_century
links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide
links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

I have successfully navigated, without searching, from "porn" to "The Holocaust" in 4 links.

Scoring
In the above example, my score would be 4. This is one point for the successful navigation, and 3 bonus points, one for bonus point for each extra link I did not use (out of a possible 7 links). 7 links = 1 point, 6 links = 2 points, etc... only 1 link = 7 points, in which case the person who set the challenge probably needs to rethink their strategy, and make their challenge more difficult.

IF someone can navigate the same challenge in fewer links than you, they may score those extra links. For example, if I score 2 points (6 links= 1 point plus 1 bonus point), and another person finds the same connection in 4 links instead of 6, they will score 2 points. They do not get the 1 point for making the connection, this goes to the original scorer ONLY. So on the same challenge, I scored 2 points, and they scored 2 points. The essentially took the unused bonus points from the challenge.

Rules

• You are welcome to use the search feature in your exploration, but you may not use the search feature to make your connection. (IE no "then search for 'cheese'")
• You may use special pages, but they still count as one link. Special pages are things like disambiguation pages and "what links here", category pages, templates, etc. The only exception are pages where you would have to type something, such as a search page or similar.
• If you are somehow able to go to an external page and BACK to wikipedia, you're welcome to do so, but only if there is a direct link in EACH direction.
• You SHOULD post the url. You MUST post the url if the name of the article is not found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/{TheArticleYouAreUsing}
• You may NOT answer your own challenge.
• If the person who successfully navigated the previous challenge fails to set an acceptable challenge, anyone may suggest the new challenge, BUT they may not answer it themselves.
• The two articles in your new challenge MUST exist (SEARCH FOR THEM), and at the wikipedia URL.
  -IE if you challenge Soap -> Algebra, the articles must exist at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/soap and at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/algebra OR you must specify the URL.
• Try to keep the chat and nonsense to a minimum.

Without further ado, let's begin! First challenge, navigate from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet
(I could write "Main_Page -> Internet" when proposing this challenge) this one is an easy one, I can do it in only 3 links, scoring myself FIVE points. But I can't because that would be answering my own challenge.

And you call me an idiot? Why not do something productive with your time. LOL

Calling you an idiot isn't productive?
