I watched a programme on this earlier, its based on some 1960's research that concluded (guessed) that everybody on the planet is somehow connected to everbody else by 6 intermediary people. Basically this girl from london put an ad in some paper in asia saying you could be part of a TV docu, this cattle herder from mongolia was selected and then the girl had to track him down starting from someone she knew and then someone they knew etc. She made it to him in 9 steps - he literally didn't have an address, a cattle herding roaming nomad, pretty crazy really. So I wonder who indirectlty knows who here on NT without knowing it, all of us I guess!
any experiences/coincidences?

Most definitely had that experience here on NT. Didn't know that the web designer for Deep Tapioca posted on here for months before one day he shot me an email saying, "How long have you been on NT? I've been there all this time, and yet it's only now that I saw your login and realize it was you?"

start with any actor or actress who has been in a movie and connect them to Kevin Bacon in the smallest number of links possible. Two people are linked if they've been in a movie together.

try to beat this (by finding someone with a higher bacon number):

Apparently Christopher Lee is better connected than Bacon is:
