    • I think n00bs lurk a lot before they start posting. I've lurked here since about 2000 maybe even 1999 and so I know a few of you for a long time but the majority of you guys won't know who I am at all. I post in bursts now. I know a couple of people from NZ who visit everyday but just don't post.

        • Six Degrees of Separation

          Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is derived from drunken babbling and speculation about the play and movie Six Degrees of Separation. Kevin Bacon isn't in the film, but there's only one degree of separation between the film and Kevin Bacon (who was in JFK with Donald Sutherland).

          Kevin Bacon was in Mystic River with (1) Laura Linney, who was in Dave with (2) Sigourney Weaver, whose (3) niece worked (4) Tom, who is (5) my brother. I therefore have a Bacon Number of 5.

          • Tom Straybow?? Never heard of him.

            I, on the other hand, went to Jr/Sr High School with Farah Fawcette. That's ONE degree of separation from The Angel. The other degrees don't matter: It's like a Station City giving the road/RR bonus.

                      It's easy to see who is right. If A links to B, is B one degree separated from A? Or is A and B really unseperable.

                      Talking about degree of separation, some people may remember that Shengji Yang is a bright 6 yr old neighbor kid who learnt a little about SMAC from me. Two degrees separation perhaps.

                          I work in an environment where seperation is acheived when the people involved are not directly related or otherwise aware of each others actions. i.e there is an intermediary. Which is probably the source of my misconception.

                            And of the 38 posters in this thread (37 if you don't count me), I have had some contact or connection (that I can clearly remember) with 19. Very few of the other 18 I don't recognize the sigs of.

                            Some work to do there, but seeing as I spend more time out of the Community than in, that's not too bad.....

                              but how well do you really have know them? I went to high school with Tim Robbins, which should give me a low kevin bacon number, but i dont remember if i even spoke to him - the HS had over 2000 students. Of course Im sure I knew SOMEONE who knew Tim.

                              • Hmm... personally, I'm 2 degrees of separation from US President John F. Kennedy and 2 degrees from Basketball player Wang Zhizi of LA

                                [So, within 3-4 degrees, I think I have just about everyone covered ]
