Return of the Wiki'd Game
Because it went over pretty well the first time, except for the fact that someone got it right in about two half-seconds, we're doing our "What Links Here" Wikipedia trivia game again.
Here's last week's:
- Car (disambiguation)
- David Bowie
- Des Moines, Iowa
- Yale University
- Control flow
- Twin Falls, Idaho
- The Strokes
Looks like Twin Falls was a dead giveaway for Built to Spill, but reader badam got in first, so good on him. Also, of the three possible names we put out there ("Wiki Stump", "Al Capone Banjo", and "Pediaphile"), the polling widget says Pediaphile wins by 15 votes. We like another name better, so we're keeping the poll open. Please vote correctly.
After the jump: this week's Pediaphile & (hopefully, not as soon as we post this) your guesses.
- Beavis and Butt-head
- Bo Diddley
- Colorado Springs, Colorado
- Cello
- David Fincher
- Disc jockey
- Kurt Cobain
(Got it right but don't want to give it away to anyone, or ruin it for everyone? Go to SnipURL, paste in the Wikipedia link to your answer, and post the URL they give you in the comments)
ps: If you put a link in when you comment, we'll post that along with your name if you've got the first correct guess.

you guys didn't cheat, right? should we have mentioned no cheating?
Going to the 7 links and looking for band names isn't really a fair way to play.
Ideally, there should be no wiki surfing until you think you've thought of the answer.

That one's definitely tough... But if you guys like another name better and don't cotton to our suggestions, just flip a coin between the other two and choose one; "pediaphile" is too Michael Jackson-y.

kevin/matt: what gave it away?

umm i remembered that beavis and butthead with the guys, and with the cello it made me think of the song from armageddon, i thought i had it, so i looked

Ah, fair enough. Clearly, we need harder ones. I won't give up on Al Capone Banjo! If you have suggestions, please e-mail 'em! We'll credit you as the gamemaster.
