The Wiki Challenge

I have a new game for you, a variation of the Kevin Bacon Game, where the idea is simple:

Come up with two topics that have articles on Wikipedia, and find the shortest number of clicks from one to the other.

Simple and lots of fun. For instance, cartoon character Bart Simpson and Swedish 18th century composer and singer Carl Michael Bellman are connected thus:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Michael_Bellman

So four clicks.

Can you beat my score on that path? Or come up with your own.

"Elephantiasis" to "World Trade Center" is doable in three clicks, but wasn't that hard.

Wiki-Challenge your friends!
