Yesterday,we told you approximately a recent game called Linknotize, a board game approximately linking Wikipedia entries, and then played our own version -- with some of the best Wikipedia entries in existence. A few wikiwise readers posted solutions in the comments that,honestly, involved even fewer clicks and more interesting connections than we had found, and proving that the online encyclopedia is full of weird and wild associations. So many,in fact, that we gain one recent puzzle for you: connect Mobile phone throwing to the Dancing Plague of 1518.

We made sure to show our work. Mary Toft > labour (redirects to Childbirth) > rectum > defecate (redirects to Defecation) > feces (redirects to Human feces) > Bristol stool scaleToilet Related Injuries and Deaths > Elvis Presley > Riley Keough > Kristen Stewart > The Twilight Saga > Kellan Lutz > Tarzan > Feral (Savage; wild) child > Kaspar Hauser*Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office > Gordon Brown > Edinburgh > Edinburgh Zoo > Nils OlavArthur Bremer > Russian roulette > Mikhail Lermontov > Penza > Czechoslovak Legion > Ural mountains > Dyatlov Pass incident*This chain is somewhat ironic because in Kaspar Hauser's entry, or there is mention of him being bashed in the head while on the privy,but he is not a fraction of the "Toilet Related Injuries and Deaths" Wikipedia entry.
