6 Degrees Of Kevin Bacon
Quote of the moment:
Sita to Rob Q: “I haven’t seen you for ages, what have you been doing?”
Rob Q: “Having a wank”
That's the first site that pops up if you google Rob+Quill+Warwick, due to the number of Rob quotes in there. Awesome. (His blog is second).
Today at work was so interesting that, while doing yet more washing up, I decided to play '6 degrees of Kevin Bacon'. For those that don't already know, it's based on the idea that everyone in the world can be linked together by 6 (or fewer) personal connections, for example:
I am obviously related to my father,
My father was in the same regiment as Will Carling (before rugby turned pro),
Will Carling had an affair with Diana, Princess of Wales,
She had a son called William.
That's 4 connections from this William to that William.
In the Kevin Bacon version, you have to link him to another actor or actress by common films. TV shows are allowed, but only if both persons had a regular part and not a cameo. Thus, in the one that took me longest this evening:
Joaquim Phoenix was in Signs with Mel Gibson,
Mel Gibson was in The Patriot with Heath Ledger,
Heath Ledger was in 10 Things I Hate About You with Joseph Gordon-Levitt,
Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in 3rd Rock From The Sun(TV) with John Lithgow,
John Lithgow was in Footloose with Kevin Bacon.
Remember kids, don't try this at home unless you're that special creature, the bored geek.
