    Old-school artist time: Nathaniel Currier

    (edit)

    Main page > London Heathrow Airport > United Kingdom > Scotland > Royal Scots Dragoon Guards

    main page > British Airways > London Gatwick Airport > Air Europe > Spam (food) > Beck > Loser (song)

    I think that covers everything. Nathaniel Currier is up.

    Well, this was very hard... The only thing that links to Nathaniel Currier is the picture of the lexington steamboat, and the only thing that links to that is january 13th (other than a list and a category which I think are against the rules) so here goes...
    Wikipedia Main Page > January 28 > January 13 > Steamship Lexington > Image:Awful conflagration of the steam boat Lexington > Nathaniel Currier

    Find me an article on Karl Marx

    I'm pretty sure the page on Currier and Ives links to Nathaniel Currier... Your route is quite fast, though.

    main page > North Korea > Stalinism > Karl Marx

    How about a vacation? Find me a route to Saint Lucia.

    This one demonstrates the true power of wikipedia ready?

    Main page > Sir Isaac Newton > England > English Cuisine > Scottish Cuisine > Deep fried Mars bar > Creme Egg

    Unfortunately the British on wikipedia has no Cuisine link
