How are Albert Einstein, Mother Theresa and Wal-Mart Related?

November 7th, 2007

A few weeks ago I mentioned a data visualization I had found about Wikipedia articles.  The more I explore the original, the more odd relationships I discover.  For instance, find the collection of nodes along the 8:00-9:00 axis that includes Albert Einstein, Mother Theresa and Wal-Mart.  If nodes are located on this visualization based on the similarity of links to other articles, why would these three be in the same ballpark?

I’d like to here from you.  Your thoughts?
