Six Degrees of Queen Victoria

All the cool kids are playing Six Degrees of Queen Victoria on Wikipedia. It's entertaining enough played straight:

From Shoggoth:
1: Charles Stross
2: UK
3: Victorian era
4: Victoria of the United Kingdom

But honestly, I immediately fell into the "just get to England" rut, and found that gaming the system is more fun. Using the "what links here" tool, you can thread very bizarre paths through the tree:

Starting at Dominatrix:
1: Sturmpanzerwagen Oberschlesien
2: Mark IX tank
3: Brent Reservoir
4: Arthur Markham (cyclist)
5: Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1873
6: Victoria of the United Kingdom
