Earlier quoted context omitted.

I find it viscerally painful to see the casual association. 6000 years of culture and all you can think of is some delusional scumbag.

"3000 years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy Cofax, you're goddamn right I'm living in the past!" - Walter Sobchak First thing that popped in my head. Yeah, here come the downvotes.

It seems too eager to go through year and day pages, and doesn't always hit the optimal path: Mike Godwin -> Godwin's law -> Adolf Hitler it gives: Mike Godwin -> 1956 -> 1889 -> Adolf Hitler Also strange is that the "1956" it follows is in the text of, but not linked from "Mike Godwin". Either way, I like the Web 2.0-style Hitler drawings :-)

I would concur about the date thing. It makes it a lot less fun when your path looks like: Polycephaly -> August 18 -> Adolf Hitler When I was able to get their manually by: Polycephaly -> Freak Show -> Cannes Film Festival -> France -> Germany -> Hitler I think just dropping dates from contention, apart from any other contextual algorithm improvements, would put a lot of the fun and discovery back in to it.

The Cure -> April 22 -> Adolf Hitler It's not clear how to me The Cure are associated with the 22Apr. The best I can find is mentions of April, and footnote #22.
