Philosophy

I was a philosophy major in college. I recently found out from a friend and xkcd that you can start with any Wikipedia article, click on the first link, and repeat the process, and for 93% of articles, you will eventually end up at the Philosophy article. There is actually a "Get to Philosophy" article on this game (which of course leads directly to philosophy). Why everything ends up rooted in philosophy is a good question, and I find it terribly amusing.

Image of "The School of Athens" by Raffello Sanzio 1509 with Plato and Aristotle is in the public domain, from Wikipedia.
