Here's what I've got

Friday
Germanic Languages
Germany
World War II
Nazi Germany
Hitler

Bunny Rabbits
Germany
World War II
Nazi Germany
Hitler

Unicorn
Germany
World War II
Nazi Germany
Hitler

et cetera

Anyone else want to try?

I've played with this before. It's a hell of a lot harder if you don't go through Germany or WW2, but it's still possible in 10 jumps avoiding the name of those two articles I've found.

Ironically, I was doing this earlier today.

If the starting article has a link to a country/language, you can pretty much go to Hitler in 5 or less jumps. (Through WW1/WW2 in most cases)

If not, well, you will eventually find yourself to a county/language... So I s'pose less than eight jumps sounds about right.

EDIT: By the way, Dokter Bob, the article on Germany has a direct link to Hitler so you can skip Nazi Germany and WW2.

EDIT2: I will never confess! ...Fine, I was.

What the...?

Weren't you 12 years old when I left? What are you doing on /b/?!?

EDIT/On-topic: A fun thing to do is to click "random article", pick a topic, and see how many clicks it takes to get there. Let me try...

EDIT 2: I chose Rubik's Cube and it took me three clicks:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_in_association_football
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_cube

EDIT 3: Not as easy, but I got there anyway.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessel's_correction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Bessel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungary
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_cube
