    .A search for science fiction authors with prostate cancer was the key. Poul Anderson was the most likely candidate, but his Wikipedia page doesn't mention his condition.

    The "What links here" option in each Wikipedia page is very useful for going backwards.

    Seems like a fun game.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_gravity
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_gravity

    One friday night at a mates house, we had fun for hours simply trying to find interesting links between any two random things.

    Example: Cats and Vegemite

    Google reveals that:

    Vegemite contains Riboflavin
    Cats excrete a certain amount of Riboflavin when urinating

    A fun game for another thread perhaps

    Hmmm, I think I just gave away the fact that I'm an Aussie, and you just gave away the fact that you're not!

    Hehe.

    The deliciousness of Vegemite is indeed a hotly debated topic
