Wikipedia is an amazing time drain thanks to its continual linkage from one topic to the next. Starting from a simple task of identifying the 19th president (Rutherford B. Hayes), hours later I end up reading about the Chinese Legislature election of 2004. But just how many links does it take to get from one page to any other page? Well someone went ahead and figured it out. Apparently the '2007' page is the center if the wikipedia universe, only taking an average of 3.45 links to get to any other page on wikipedia.
