What you can learn by reading Slashdot

Slashdot had an interesting post today linking to a project which studied the degree of separation between different Wikipedia articles. Possibly moved by the subconscious feeling of shame due to the fact I was reading Slashdot instead of working on wx I decided to check what does it have to say about the closeness of wxWidgets to paradise. And the result was:

Shortest path from wxwidgets to paradise
WxWidgets
November 27
Eastern Orthodox Church
Paradise
3 clicks needed

I say we're pretty close to the goal! Even better, while we're only 3 clicks removed from Qt too, Qt itself is 1 click further from paradise than wx is. They have some work to do (but then maybe this is what they're doing, instead of reading Slashdot...)

That date link shouldn't count. Those date links have WAY too many WAY too unrelated stuff, and nobody really clicks on dates (because there isn't any relevant information on that page).

Well sorry, I just had to do it:

You are also just three steps away from hell. And interestingly enough the path does not pass over Nov 27 and Eastern Orthodox, but over Erlang!

So I guess you are stuck in Limbo somewhere between paradise and hell.

Interesting post, thanks for all your hard work on our widgets

Qt is actually 3 clicks from paradise: Qt is a disambiguation page. For Qt there is an article 'Qt (toolkit)'.
Aligned race in fact :)
