Six Degrees of Separation
Those of you who know me back from my college days might remember that I used to be an avid player of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game. I've since lost touch with the circle of friends that I used to play with, so I don't do it much anymore, but the interest is still there. The game was based off of a Stanley Milgram experiment back in the Sixties where he discovered that the average number of "hops" to go from one person to another was six. Well, it appears that some researchers at Columbia University would like to expand the experiment on a global scale. Looks like fun.
