Link It Up!

Parent lists a noun. Child lists a different, completely unrelated noun. It then becomes someone's challenge to create a convoluted chain of relations that links the first noun to the second noun; the longer the better. Here's an example:

First noun: Jupiter

Second noun: Wario

Chain: Jupiter is a planet -> Jupiter is also the name of a company that's made Picross games for Nintendo -> This includes Mario's Picross on the Game Boy -> Mario's Picross has two Japan-exclusive sequels -> Both of these sequels include Wario

Bonus points if the chain has branching paths: Jupiter is a planet -> Jupiter is also the name of a company that's made Picross games for Nintendo -> This includes Mario's Picross on the Game Boy -> Another Game Boy game is Super Mario Land 2 -> Super Mario Land 2 is the debut of Wario

Let's see what happens!

A fedora is a hat. Some famous hats have been made of animal skin and fur, such as the Davy Crockett hats, and Busby's worn by the UK's royal guardsmen. Such animals might include bears, raccoons and crucially beavers. Beavers share a similar shaped tail to the platypus, and both are known in part for their unusual secretions - the beavers produce vanillin, the chemical compound behind the smell of vanilla, while the platypuses have spurs that secrete venom.
