Wikipedia Trails: From Kermit the Frog To

So something that caught my eye in the Twitter stream was a funny meme of Kermit the Frog. So I decided to look up Kermit the Frog. I love all of the Kermit memes so I thought it would be cool to look up Kermit.

And from there I saw that Kermit sang a song in a style similar to Johnny Cash so I went to Johnny Cash. This sparked my interest because I couldn't imagine Kermit singing a song by Johnny Cash. I also wondered how they interconnected at all. From there it led me to finding the Soviet Army.

I thought this was cool because he served as a morse code operator. So I thought I would read about the old nation and find out what happened during this time period for their country. From this I was led to Strategic Missile Troops.

I was pretty interested in this because it sounds pretty cool to be honest. I think it is so interesting though how I began with Kermit the Frog and ended with this topic.

  1. John, this is so cool! That Wikipedia Trail thing is something new this semester, and your trail here is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to see. Totally wild and fun and informative too. I happen to know the guy who shared the Kermit meme today (he uses a lot of Kermit in his classes!), so I will have to tell him about this. Thanks for making such a fun trail! :-)

  2. John that's so infesting that Kermit lead you all the way to strategic missile troops. It's crazy how things can connect with each other. I never new he was used as a code name. I think i may try this assignment next week for extra credit!
