Kevin Bacon of Wikipedia

I hypothesize that Douglas Adams is the Kevin Bacon of Wikipedia. That is to say, in going from any randomly selected page to any other randomly selected page in Wikipedia just by clicking on links, chances are you'll end up on Douglas Adams's page.

Anyone else think it's wierd that nobody's done any network analysis of Wikipedia? Like diameter, that kind of thing? It just seems like an obvious thing to do and like it wouldn't take too much time. Ah well. Put that on the do it later unless someone else does it first list.
